Sticking a fork in disposable plastic products come Earth Day


Need a plastic fork at a restaurant here? Come Earth Day on April 22, customers will have to start reaching for more eco- friendly cutlery, according to a Bill passed by the city’s legislature.

Plastic waste is the finance hub’s second largest source of municipal solid waste, with an average of 2,331 tonnes disposed a day in 2021 – equivalent to nearly 70 adult humpback whales.
