Eco Guardian to open new manufacturing facility in Ontario

Sustainable packaging company Eco Guardian is opening a new manufacturing facility in Aurora, Ont.

The facility is set to be fully operational in the fourth quarter of 2025. 

Eco Guardian said the expansion will allow it to produce compostable and recycling paper cups and bowls, with an annual production capacity of 2 billion cups.

It will also have the capability to produce custom-designed food packaging solutions like burger boxes, fry boxes, paper trays and more.

"With increasing global trade uncertainties, businesses across Canada are looking for reliable, locally sourced solutions," said Anil Abrol, president and CEO of Eco Guardian, in a release. "This new facility will ensure that Canadian businesses have direct access to high-quality, eco-friendly, Made-in-Canada packaging without the risk of cost increases due to tariffs and supply chain disruptions associated with overseas imports."

The company said it will feature advanced sustainable production technologies and fully recyclable and compostable product lines.

Eco Guardian will use a variety of materials including FSC-certified paper, compostable linings and bamboo paper.
