Ministry says coffee chain has history of being 'generally non-cooperative'
The B.C.-based coffee chain, Waves Coffee, was fined close to $31,000 last month for failing to implement a government-mandated recycling program, even after it was warned it must.
The chain was handed a warning then, but still hadn't submitted a recycling program plan to the ministry by the end of November 2023, eight months later. When Waves Coffee Director Kayvan Rahmati did respond, he told the ministry he hadn't been aware of the contravention because he only officially took over the company in March 2022 after his father suddenly died. Rahmati didn't provide any evidence for this however, and the ministry said it had records of communicating with him since 2019.
