- Available now across Saskatchewan and while supplies last, Tim Hortons hot beverage cups and lids are going grey to get fans excited for this weekend's CFL celebrations.
- Serving hot beverages with the grey lids is the latest step in the Tim Hortons Tims for Good sustainability journey to improve our packaging. The grey lids represent the first time we've developed a hot beverage lid that's made with 25 per cent post-consumer recycled material. The grey lids are made from polypropylene, a material that is recyclable, similar to our white hot beverage lids that are also recyclable.
- Fans will be able to visit the Tims for Good coffee truck at the 109th Grey Cup and enjoy coffee or hot chocolate in grey cups while cheering for the Toronto Argonauts or Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
Available now across Saskatchewan and while supplies last, Tim Hortons is turning its iconic red cups grey in celebration of the 109th Grey Cup being held this Sunday, Nov. 20 in Regina. Tim Hortons guests across the province will also receive their favourite hot beverages with a specially designed grey lid, which is made with 25 per cent post-consumer recycled polypropylene – a first for Tim Hortons. The grey lids are also recyclable, like our standard white hot beverage lids.
"Building on our theme of serving hot beverages in grey cups for the Grey Cup we wanted to take the idea one step further – by leaning into our Tims for Good sustainability platform," says Paul Yang, Senior Director of Procurement, Sustainability and Packaging at Tim Hortons.
"When we changed the colour of our hot beverage lids to white, we did so with an aim of improving the value of the materials to recyclers and to enable more options for repurposing these materials. By developing these grey lids with 25 per cent post-consumer recycled polypropylene – which gives the lids their grey colouring – we can use the learnings from this limited-time event to continue to develop and advance circular packaging solutions for all our guests across Canada."
Canadian Football League fans will be able to visit the Tims for Good coffee truck at the 109th Grey Cup and enjoy coffee or hot chocolate in the grey cups while cheering along the Toronto Argonauts or Winnipeg Blue Bombers.
The limited-edition grey cups and lids are available at participating restaurants across Saskatchewan while supplies last.
