Calgary businesses brace for next phase of single-use plastic ban, which comes into effect Tuesday yyc yycbiz
Restaurants, bars and retail outlets will still be permitted to distribute the single-use plastic products until Dec. 20, 2023. They will, however, have to make do with the current level of stock as the production of these products in Canada and their importation will be prohibited going forward. Once plastic stocks run out, they will have to use the sustainable option only.The concern is not only sourcing these products, in particular for the smaller independents, but also what they will cost.
The City of Calgary in October said it would proceed with a bylaw in 2023 aimed at waste reduction as opposed to just the federal ban. The city said 3.5 million single-use bags end up in the landfill every week. The city’s potential legislation would require mandatory fees of 15 cents per paper bag and $1 per reusable bag as a way of levelling the field between independents and larger chains.
“We have already started to replace many of our single-use plastic items, such as our deli trays, and we will continue to work through all our current stock listed on the ban list and convert them all to alternative products before the December 2023 deadline.”
