PIZZA PARTNERSHIP Mohamad Fakih, founder and CEO of Paramount Fine Foods, and celebrity chef Massimo Capra have partnered to launch the MAS.E.MO pizza concept. The concept is operated out of select Paramount locations in Toronto and Burlington, Ont. and features one-of-a-kind pizzas made with halal-only ingredients, which are available for takeout and delivery. The launch is part of the Paramount pandemic plan to broaden menu offerings and maximize the use of pre-existing spaces, resulting in the new brands Box’d, Cloud Kitchen and Krispo Chicken. SUSTAINABLE SOLUTIONS During Waste Reduction Week, Tim Hortons announced a series of new sustainability initiatives. Among these, the brand has stopped the practice of double-cupping and will instead offer guests a recyclable cardboard sleeve for its hot drinks. It will also introduce improved paper napkins made with 100-per-cent recycled fibre and use 25-per-cent less material in early 2021. The brand is also preparing to roll out new paper-based wrappers for sandwiches and bagels in January that are fully recyclable, while also cutting the use of paper by 17 per cent annually. And, Tim Hortons also announced a new partnership with TerraCycle’s zero-waste platform, Loop. The new program will be piloted in Toronto starting next year, offering guests the option of paying a deposit and receiving reusable and returnable cups or food containers with their order to reduce packaging waste.
