CLS Holdings USA, Inc. Partners with AE Global to Tackle the Plastic Crisis

Innovative certified plastic-negative packaging partnership with AE Global's Talk Trash is projected to remove 27,000 lbs of ocean-bound plastic from the environment in 2025.

Las Vegas, Nevada--(Newsfile Corp. - October 15, 2024) - CLS Holdings USA, Inc. (OTCQB: CLSH) (CSE: CLSH), (the ''Company'' or ''CLS''), a diversified cannabis company operating as Cannabis Life Sciences, is excited to announce a new partnership with AE Global's Talk Trash Initiative-a program focused on preventing ocean-bound plastic. Through this collaboration, its Nevada-based dispensary, Oasis Cannabis Dispensary, is strengthening its commitment to sustainability by introducing certified plastic-negative exit bags, taking a significant step towards a cleaner, greener future.

"Our partnership with Talk Trash is more than just a step toward sustainability—it's a powerful commitment to reshaping the future of cannabis for a healthier planet," said Jordan Ascanio, Creative Director of CLS Holdings, USA Inc. "By adopting plastic-negative packaging made from ocean-bound plastic, we're not only minimizing our environmental impact but also taking a leadership role in driving sustainability within the cannabis industry."

Oasis's new exit bags, made from 20% post-consumer recycled material, are the first to feature certified plastic-negative packaging. For every unit produced, twice the amount of plastic used in its manufacturing is removed from the environment. The initial order will help fund the removal of over 9,000 lbs of plastic, with Oasis projecting to remove more than 27,000 lbs in 2025—equivalent to keeping over 1 million plastic bottles out of the ocean.

CLS Holdings USA, Inc. plans to further its positive environmental impact with future orders of the exit bags, while also working to introduce sustainable packaging to its City Trees brand through AE Global's Talk Trash program.

As consumer demand for eco-friendly products continues to grow, this partnership positions Oasis as a forward-thinking dispensary, showing that sustainability and business success can go hand in hand.
