New Westminster-based coffee house chain penalized for recycling failures at its 21 locations across B.C.
The B.C. coffee chain Waves Coffee has been slapped with a nearly $31,000 administrative penalty for a “major” breach of provincial recycling regulations linked to the disposal of “to go option hot cups.”
“It also undermined the ministry’s capacity to protect and conserve the natural environment,” she added. “This could negatively impact recycling rates and the waste stream, resulting in environmental impact,” she added. Little said she was persuaded that Waves Coffee “failed to take action” and increased the $10,000 base penalty by 25 per cent.
In its submission, owner Kayvan Rahmati said his name has been associated with Waves Coffee since in inception, but that he officially assumed ownership and operational responsibilities of the company on March 6, 2022, after the sudden passing of his father in a car crash. “I understand the need to take responsibility for the use of my name, but the circumstances surrounding its usage were beyond my control,” he is quoted saying in the decision.
