And because they watch their bottom line closely they monitor what
the consumer asks for and wants. Which means that they are moving to
recycled goods, recyclable containers and compostable materials, at
least they are in my country.

Here's an example;

Tim Hortons Canada

- 100% Recycled Fibre Napkins
- Recyclable Paper Sandwich Packaging
- No more plastic straws
- Compostable cup liners for paper cups
- Recyclable cup sleeves; no more double cupping
- Offering reusable and returnable cups
- 30% Recycled material cups
- Wooden stir sticks
- 100% Recycled fibre takeaway bags
- Strawless cold beverage lids
- Recyclable hot beverage lids

Also:

- Removed artificial colours, flavours and preservatives
- Added healthier options
- Improvement in supply chain standards: ethically sourced coffee,
  eliminating deforestation and improving animal welfare, reducing
  energy consumption, water use, greenhouse gas emissions and waste.

A&W Canada have taken similar initiatives, especially in the area of
meat quality and animal welfare. Starbucks and McDonalds have taken
notice and are starting to get on the bandwagon too, because it's
turned out to be good for business.

Cheers

Jim
