Have your say: City of Toronto seeks input on reducing single-use and takeaway items

Published October 2, 2018

The City of Toronto is seeking input to help inform its future decisions related to reducing waste from single-use and takeaway items.

A single-use or takeaway item is any product designed for a single use after which is it disposed of in the garbage, Blue Bin (recycling) or Green Bin (organics). Typically, these products are not designed for durability or reuse.

Whenever food and drinks are served to consume quickly or to carry out, single-use or takeaway products are needed to facilitate those dining experiences in a way that ensures food safety and quality, as well as accessibility.

Restaurants Canada encourages businesses with operations in Toronto to join in the consultation process and help make sure the voice of foodservice is heard. Below are a few opportunities to participate.
