Frequently Asked Questions
What will I be doing on the NoSUP Canada app?
Think of it like an extended shopping list. You’ll take a photo of the product(s) you want to buy and answer a few extra questions on why you decided to buy it or not. Using the app while you’re food shopping shouldn’t add much more than a few seconds per product.
What is the time commitment?
That’s up to you. You can use it every time you go food shopping. Or you can save your involvement for those times you are especially frustrated about buying food with all that extra plastic packaging.
How will my data support Canada’s zero-waste plastic goals?
We know there are many people out there who want to see less plastic waste in our food – just like we do. We want to make sure the food industry hears us loud and clear. With the data we collect, we will show food retailers, manufacturers and packaging suppliers that there is enough demand for plastic-free food in Canada. The goal is for us to start seeing more plastic-free options on supermarket shelves, and, ultimately, no plastic waste at all. Wouldn’t that be great?
What happens to my personal data? What if I stop participating?
Keeping your personal data safe and private is as important to us as getting rid of plastic waste in supermarkets. We do not sell your private data, and we do not allow food companies to market to you. You’ll be asked to provide some basic personal information (your email address, name and password) that will allow you to use the app and some demographic information (like your gender, age, location etc) that will help us to analyze the product information you submit.

What’s in it for me? Will I be rewarded for my time and effort?
We’d love to think you’d do this from the goodness of your green heart. 😊 Really, we know there has to be more, so for every product, you’ll get points which you can allocate to one of the not-for-profits or charities we support, from local food banks to safe drinking water projects. The more you use the app, the more we’ll fund these projects.
