“Funding from VERGE Capital will allow us to expand more quickly across Southwestern Ontario. The funding will directly translate to more impact through waste and emission reduction as we increase the use of reusable packaging. We are extremely excited about the opportunity and support we've received from VERGE on our mission to revolutionize take-away packaging.”
