minimum of five cents for each plastic shopping bag, Pizza Nova has voluntarily
discontinued the use of all plastic bags from all of their restaurant locations
across Ontario.

by the city to reduce the distribution and use of plastic bags," says
Domenic Primucci, executive vice-president of the family owned business. "As
supporters of several environmental initiatives, we feel that discontinuing the

bags to carry their product that meet the environmental requirements of the new
bylaw.
