Tim Hortons says the company will eliminate about 300 million plastic straws from its restaurants and transit to paper straws by early 2021—a decision made to align with the federal government’s ban on single-use plastics.
The company said Tuesday nearly 90 percent of its restaurants in and near Vancouver have already removed the use of plastic straws. The full transition to paper straws among its 4,000 restaurants in Canada will be completed over the next year.
