Tim Hortons and the Environment!

As Canada’s largest provider of coffee (covering 80% of Canada’s coffee needs daily) Tim Hortons has a huge responsibility when it comes to the environment!

Tim Hortons is trying to be very conscious of the impact that their packaging and waste materials has on the environment. They are attempting to deal with the litter issue in a variety of ways:

They have anti-littering messages on all packaging, including a ‘Do Not Litter’ message on all take-out cups. Sadly, many people unfortunately do not pay attention to these messages.

Some individual Tim Hortons stores hold local clean-up events and activities in their communities.

Tim Hortons is one of the few, if only, quick service restaurants to offer china mugs, plates and bowls to customers eating in their stores – this helps to reduce paper waste at the store level.

All Tim Hortons stores sell reusable Tim Mugs – and while a Tim Mug may not be a practical solution for the majority of customers, it does provide a good alternative. The incentive for purchasing a Tim Mug is that the customer pays less for their coffee when using their mug.

Tim Hortons is always researching alternative packaging materials, particularly those that are recyclable and/or biodegradable.
