Tim Hortons is teaming up with TerraCycle’s zero-waste platform, called Loop, in a pilot program where customers can pay a deposit for reusable cups and containers that can then be returned for a refund, the idea being to reduce single-use waste.

Starting in 2021, Tim Hortons customers may have to pay a deposit for their cup and food containers which will be refunded when the items are returned at participating restaurants.
