We don't have plastic drinking straws either fwiw, all waxed paper or other compostible stuff. Lots of the little bits of plastic that were common a decade ago have been changed.

My bread bags have had cardboard/carton bag ties for at least 2-3 years - also Québec, Montréal - so definitely here, Québec too

Haven't bought bagged milk for a while though, not sure about those bag ties

Hmm. That's the first I've seen. Maybe I need to pay more attention.

It probably depends on the brand!

I always get Bon Matin bread (huge variety, whole ingredients, excellent nutritional profile - personal favourite is the Protein one) and they switched to cardboard bag ties some years ago - more reasons to like them!
