Circular Materials, a national non-profit producer responsibility organisation, has launched a beverage cup recycling programme in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Introduced on Wednesday (3 July), the programme allows Toronto residents to recycle both hot and cold paper-based and plastic-lined beverage cups from their homes and other eligible locations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The initiative extends to single and multi-residential homes, long-term care homes, and schools within the city.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pilot is expected to significantly cut down the waste generated from beverage cups and support the development of proactive recycling management and efficiency enhancement across the province.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This programme is the first step in a plan to integrate these materials into recycling systems across all Ontario municipalities by 2026.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Circular Materials is the administrator of Ontario\u2019s common collection system. It is also in charge of the new system\u2019s operations for Blue Box materials.\u00a0<\/p>\n
