Customers may notice takeout containers, straws and other items being swapped for greener alternatives in the new year as Canada's food service industry adjusts to the phase-in of a federal law that aims to eventually remove many single-use plastics from the market altogether.

Some restaurants have already gone through months of trial and error in an effort to find the best alternatives to single-use plastic items.

December 2023 will see a ban on the sale of all these products, except for ring carriers, which will be banned for sale in June 2024, and in December 2025 a ban on the manufacture, import and export for sale of all these products will come into effect. He had employees and some customers test out different containers, covering the delivery charge in exchange for feedback.Many businesses still have large stockpiles of plastic containers to use up, and may even have extra after the COVID-19 lockdowns.

Colquhoun is among those who feel as though the single-use plastics ban is a small thing, a band-aid solution of sorts, amid the larger forces causing climate change, and said he feels like small businesses are often the ones paying the price.
