Ban on single-use-plastic bags, straws or utensils in stores & restaurants starting tomorrow

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 20 Dec, 2023 10:51 AM
  • Ban on single-use-plastic bags, straws or utensils in stores & restaurants starting tomorrow

Shoppers should expect to see no single-use-plastic bags, straws or utensils in stores and restaurants starting tomorrow, as new federal single-use plastics rules take effect. 

Cities like Vancouver and Victoria have already have their own rules in place.

The B-C government says food service providers will no longer be able to offer single-use plastic utensils, lids and other items like plastic sushi grass.

It says such items can only be given out if a customer asks for them.
