Canada - Tim Hortons launches new 'cup-to-tray' recycling program in Nova Scotia

摘要

Tim Hortons and its Nova Scotia recycling partners announced during National Waste Reduction Week, an effective way to recycle used hot beverage cups into takeout trays that can be recycled again into more trays. With this made-in-Nova Scotia Cup-to-Tray program, Tim Hortons becomes the first quick-service restaurant in Canada to "close the loop" and recycle used cups into another product it uses. In July 2011 Tim Hortons had 3,811 system-wide restaurants, including 3,189 in Canada and 622 in the United States.
