Invitation to Participate in the City of Toronto Reducing Single-Use Program
The City of Toronto invites you to join the Reducing Single-Use program (RSU). The program is designed to encourage and enable businesses like yours to take small steps to reduce their use and distribution of single-use and takeaway items such as straws, eating utensils, beverage cups, shopping bags, polystyrene foam and black plastic containers.
Why Join?
The federal government has already enacted a Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulation to ban and restrict some of these items.
The proposed mandatory measures (i.e. bylaws) for the Single-Use and Takeaway Items Reduction Strategy will be presented for City Council consideration in 2023.
Sign up for the Reducing Single-Use program today!
Reducing Single-Use (RSU) program benefits include:
§ Access to resources for your business to successfully comply with existing and upcoming restrictions to transition away from single-use and takeaway items
§ Participation in an online City Directory to let residents know where they can shop to reduce waste and connect businesses with service providers that will help them reduce single-use waste.
§ A webinar and workshop series on a variety of topics including practical ways to take action to reduce single-use waste, best practices in accepting reusables from your customers, alternatives to foam and black plastic containers, and more.
