3 tips for a sustainable festival
This summer, the PURE Brigade is on a mission. We’re hitting the road to talk about eco-friendly habits, bulk products, and the small actions that make a big difference. At festivals or on the go, every gesture counts. 💚 1. Don’t crush your can! A crushed can is harder to sort. Keep it intact so it can actually be recycled. Simple and super effective. 2. Bring your reusable water bottle (and refill it often) Most festivals offer water stations. Cut down on single-use plastic by staying hydrated the smart way. 3. Take 10 seconds to sort your waste properly Did you know that only 20% of waste gets recycled at festivals, even with bins available? When you take a moment to sort your trash right, you directly help organizers reduce the event’s environmental footprint. A small effort with a big impact ♻️ Come see us this summer to discover local, healthy, and eco-friendly products: 📍 June 14 – Musique Fest, Rivière-du-Loup 📍 July 12 – Archipel, Kamouraska 📍 July 18 – Le Festif, Baie-St-Paul

Pure X Chiots Nordiques: A Partnership That Stands Out
We’re excited to share our new collaboration with the organization Chiots Nordiques.Did you know that canine overpopulation in Indigenous communities still leads to major issues each year, affecting animal welfare, animal health, and public health? Since 2012, Chiots Nordiques has been providing effective, responsible, and professional support to communities wishing to host targeted, temporary sterilization clinics. This is a voluntary program that respects the needs, customs, and values of each community it visits. These interventions allow animals to be sterilized, vaccinated, and dewormed — not only to improve their health, but also to address urgent public health concerns. With the growing needs of these communities, Chiots Nordiques relies on the support of valuable partners to keep their essential services going. Over the coming year, Pure is proud to equip Chiots Nordiques volunteers in the field with high-quality, eco-friendly cleaning products — reinforcing our shared commitment to health, safety, and sustainability. Every year, more than 250 dogs are adopted through Chiots Nordiques, each one given a second chance at life. Thanks to our partnership, all new adopters will receive a Pure Essentials Trio for their home — made with ingredients that are safe for both people and pets. There’s a beautiful parallel between these dogs and our bottles: Adopt, don’t shop! Just like these dogs, our refillable bottles are looking for a forever home. Support Chiots Nordiques by using the promo code CHIOTSNORDIQUES10 for 10% off on our online store. Pure will donate 5% of all sales made with this code directly to the organization.
