Green Link
Morguard Investments has a program in their Retail Properties Portfolio called Green Link. This program is designed to see where our property measures up in the industry as to the environmental standards and use of our resources. We are committed to improving the quality of our environment and the uses of our resources.
In 2023, with the support of our customers and retailers, we recycled a total of 375,000 pounds, which translates to:
- By recycling paper and cardboard this year the property has saved 2,640 mature trees.
- Enough plastic bottles were recycled this year to produce 218 XL polyester t-shirts.
- The paper recycled in the past year would have saved enough water to fill 1,440 water cooler bottles.
- The total material diverted from landfill this year is equivalent to the weight of 81 electric sedans.
