Brands included under this initiative include Prime Pubs, Landing, Swiss Chalet, Harvey’s and East Side Mario’s.
The restaurant group plans to introduce paper only straws following the phase out of plastic straws by the end of March 2019.
Recipe Unlimited CEO Frank Hennessey said: “Our goal is to enrich life in Canada. And that extends beyond our restaurants and guests, to our oceans, wildlife and environment.
“Straws are just one component of the work we’re undertaking to eliminate single use plastics from our supply chain and shift to recyclable or compostable materials wherever possible.”
