With the Canadian Government’s Single-use Plastics Prohibition underway, and the ban on the sale of certain single-use plastics starting in December 2023, Environment and Climate Change Canada will join us to discuss tactics to enable businesses like yours to move away from the use and distribution of single-use plastic takeaway items such as straws, eating utensils, shopping bags, and polystyrene foam and black plastic foodservice ware like containers, cups, plates, bowls and boxes.

  • Become aware of available information and resources to help you prepare for compliance
