The City of Ottawa should study how to phase out single-use and foamed plastics, including plastic bottles, from city facilities and programs where possible, councillors sitting on the environment committee recommended on Tuesday.
The committee unanimously supported a motion put forward by Coun. Catherine McKenney that calls on city council to direct staff to both build a plan for eliminating single-use plastics in the city’s solid waste master plan and study the feasibility of banning them in contracted services.
