Calgary shops preparing to do business without single-use plastics yyc
As of Dec. 20, the federal government’s next phases of the process of banning single-use plastics will come into effect.At that time, the importation and manufacturing of single-use plastics such as shopping bags, carry-out food containers and cutlery will no longer be permitted in Canada.“It’s a benefit for the environment” said Mañana Imports owner Stephen Burger. “It’s a benefit for everyone.
A 2019 study done by the City of Calgary showed about 3.5 million plastic shopping bags found their way to the city’s landfill along with millions of take-out containers and disposable cups. Ward 2 councillor Jennifer Wyness said the city is currently in the feedback stage of a new bylaw that will be aimed at further reducing single-use plastic consumption with a focus on compostable brown bags and wood.
“It’s not just one order of government gets to fix this,” Wyness said. “This is a global issue… global ramifications and I think sometimes we put the box too narrow when it comes to addressing the climate.”
