Sustainability at Dawson's: Earn Discounts With Our In-Store Recycling Program

Plastic pollution is an escalating global crisis, with over 8 million metric tonnes of plastic entering the oceans each year. The staggering estimate of 15 to 51 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans underscores the urgency of finding sustainable solutions. However, amidst this crisis, there's a glimmer of hope, particularly within industries like seafood, which are pioneering changes to combat plastic pollution.
Here at Dawson's, we are committed to reducing our environmental footprint. One significant step we've taken is transitioning away from common foam non-biodegradable oyster trays to fully recyclable oyster trays. The moisture lock plastic trays we now use, not only ensure product quality and longevity but also prioritize environmental sustainability.

Moisture Lock is a revolutionary honeycomb design that effectively locks excess moisture in place without the need for additional soaker pads. Crafted from high-clarity food-grade PET, a highly recyclable thermoplastic polymer, these trays offer a range of benefits. They are 100% recyclable, strong, lightweight and durable.
