June 30, 2017
CBC News reports that Mark von Schellwitz, vice president of Restaurants Canada, says Vancouver's possible ban on disposable cups, plastic bags and take-out container waste is unrealistic and a total ban would be difficult to implement. The article reports that staff from the City of Vancouver are expected to present options for council to consider to reduce single-use waste to meet the city's goal of becoming a zero-waste city by 2040.
