The problem

Single-use plastic waste.

Globally, over 400 million tons of plastic are produced every year, and nearly 50% of it goes into single-use products. Because virtually every piece of plastic ever manufactured still exists in some form, millions of tons of unmanaged waste pollute our land, freshwater systems and oceans every year.

Plastic vs. Birchwood

Single-use plastic

  • ✕Made from fossil fuels, built to last for generations for a meal that lasts minutes.
  • ✕Chemical leaching (such as BPA and phthalates) and microplastics in food and drinks.
  • ✕Rarely recycled, and found on Canada’s coasts and in the Great Lakes.
  • ✕Banned under Canada’s Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations.

Toss Better birchwood

  • ✓Natural birchwood from responsibly managed forests.
  • ✓Zero synthetic additives: no waxes, coatings or plastic liners.
  • ✓Designed to integrate smoothly into organic waste streams.
  • ✓Fully compliant, natural alternatives for Canada.
Easy compliance for Canadian businesses

Canada drew the line on single-use plastics.

To combat this crisis, the Government of Canada enacted landmark Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations, restricting plastic bags, cutlery, stir sticks and straws. Toss Better provides fully compliant, natural alternatives that help Canadian households and commercial food service operators transition seamlessly away from banned plastics.

Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations published.

Manufacture and import of banned items prohibited.

Sale of plastic cutlery, stir sticks and straws banned.

Federal Court of Appeal ruling keeps the regulations in force.

Our story

A shared vision, brought to life.

Toss Better isn’t just a brand. It’s a shared vision brought to life by a couple united by a deep love for each other, a profound respect for nature and a commitment to personal health.

Like many households across Canada, we grew uncomfortable with the sheer volume of single-use plastic waste piling up in our daily lives, and the hidden health risks that come with it. From chemical leaching (such as BPA and phthalates) to microplastics in food and drinks, plastic tableware simply does not belong at the dining table. We asked ourselves a simple question: how can we make daily living convenient and healthy without leaving a permanent scar on the earth?

Based in Milton, Ontario, Toss Better provides precision-engineered birchwood cutlery and high-performance paper straws for everyday consumers and commercial food service partners across Canada. What started as a shared household mission has grown into a proudly Canadian brand dedicated to offering pure, chemical-free dining essentials that protect both our families and our environment.
