EDMONTON, AB, September 16, 2024 - Plantae Environmental Inc., a sustainable materials company and a leader in utilizing plant fibres to heal damaged environments and the Métis Settlements Development Corporation (MSDC) is proud to announce a transformative partnership. This partnership will build markets across Canada for Plantae’s unique technologies, build an indigenous supply chain for accessing plant fibres through a procurement initiative and work to build internal capacity for Indigenous employment in all aspects of the company from leadership to science.

We are excited to collaborate with the Metis Settlements Development Corporation in Plantae Sikikin”, Ian Wilson, CEO, Plantae Environmental.
