ca·no

pronounced / kaˈnoo /

Food packaging is everywhere. It creates 50% of the waste collected in our cities and 32% of packaging ends up in our nature and waterways. By 2050, they will cause more than 15% of global greenhouse gas emissions. 

We know that we cannot live without packaging to transport food on a daily basis. But what if packaging disappeared? What if we came back to a model where transportation made no trace?

Until the mid-19th century, the canoe was an essential means of transport for exploration and trade. The canoe played a key role in history, especially in Canada, and it remains an important theme in our culture.

This is where the identity of Cano was born because a canoe is a lightweight, yet sturdy, water vessel propelled by one or more paddlers to move forward

Our mission is to reduce the environmental impact of our daily actions and we believe that together, we can drive that change. We invite you onboard the Cano, so we can move forward and leave no trace.

Cano in the news

"Thanks to the data collected, Cano ensures that users return their containers in participating locations, but also set up a reward system for the right users."

- La Presse

"The operation, which is similar to the borrowing system of libraries or even BIXI/CITY Bikes, is simple: the customer buys their coffee/food in a container at the participating locations, go about their business and return the containers when they want in a collection bins available everywhere."
