They all are here, haven't seen a plastic one in years.

Definitely not here. Quebec.

We don't have plastic drinking straws either fwiw, all waxed paper or other compostible stuff. Lots of the little bits of plastic that were common a decade ago have been changed.

Thanks for putting the coin next to it, I wouldn't have been able to tell it was cardboard without it.

much better than those lifetime plastic tabs.

they're phasing them in because of the plastic bans

It would reduce waste, but honestly, there is so much freaking plastic on everything that it really wont make a difference. Bigger changes are needed.

La Meunerie Urbaine on Monkland ave. In Montreal. Crazy delicious sour dough.

Does this work more than once?

Yep, becoming a huge thing in Canada to eliminate plastic waste.

Brilliant! I hope to see more of these.

Truly a sub for everything!

Wish I could say the same in California, I’ve yet to see a cardboard one.

I always threw the plastic thing out, twisted the bag and sat the bread on the twist and my stepmother would get angry at me.
I say it was just as, if not more effective than using the tie.

Thanks. So I just went to that subreddit to check it out. Turns out those posts get really repetitive really quickly.

We only just started to get them in aus, roughtly the same time we started trying to handle our own recycling as these things jam up the equipment. or so the radio ad says

How about the bag itself? Is it still plastic? Then what the fuck are you solving by replacing these tiny fucking things? The world has become crazy. Suck that kool aid with your paper straws.

My bread bags have had cardboard/carton bag ties for at least 2-3 years - also Québec, Montréal - so definitely here, Québec too
Haven't bought bagged milk for a while though, not sure about those bag ties
yirush OP t1_j9t1m4i wrote
Hmm. That's the first I've seen. Maybe I need to pay more attention.
MarcusForrest t1_j9t2dj6 wrote
It probably depends on the brand!
I always get Bon Matin bread (huge variety, whole ingredients, excellent nutritional profile - personal favourite is the Protein one) and they switched to cardboard bag ties some years ago - more reasons to like them!

everything in Canada is using cardboard now. Paper straws suck btw as in are bad not the actual function
yirush OP t1_j9tki0s wrote
I guess Quebec is distinct in that way.

Wow!! Did you just wake up from a multi year coma?
DrDroid t1_j9tnizl wrote
There’s no downside though. Perfect is the enemy of good.
yirush OP t1_j9tnw0i wrote
Haha. In fact, I kind of did. Anyway, I went to have a closer look at the Provigo down the street and it seems there are a few Quebec bread companies that have also been in a coma. Lotsa plastic.

but the bread is still in plastic, right?
