About Eco Guardian · Since 2004
Rooted in purpose
Built for progress
From reusable shopping bags to foodservice packaging and Canadian manufacturing, we help businesses find packaging that works for them.
Where we began
One question
More possibilities
In 2004, founder Anil Abrol started with a simple question: could everyday packaging be approached differently?
Our first focus was reusable shopping bags. That idea grew into foodservice packaging, new product ranges and relationships with businesses across Canada.
