R3Rewards Management Corporation: Canada Starts Regulatory Action to Address Plastic Pollution

The federal government declared plastics as toxic under Canada's main environmental law, paving the way for stronger rules.
 
VANCOUVER, British Columbia - July 9, 2021 - PRLog -- According to a 2019 study commissioned by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), about 3.3 million tons of plastic is discarded in Canada each year, and less than 10 per cent — about 305,000 tons — is recycled. The rest goes to the environment: landfills, rivers, lakes and oceans. Plastic pollution, like climate change, is a global problem, and should be solved globally. Many countries around the world have already banned certain non-essential single-use plastic items and 170 countries have pledged to significantly reduce plastic use by 2030. The European Union's single-use plastic ban will be in force this summer. Canada has an opportunity to join other global leaders in the fight to end the plastic disaster.

The federal government recently announced plastic to be considered toxic under Canada's primary environmental law — the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). This decision seems to be the first step towards a proposed ban on some single-use items like take-out containers, straws, and six-pack rings. This is a step of paramount importance in Canada's plan to address the growing plastic pollution crisis, enabling regulations that would reduce unnecessary plastic use, and support a non-toxic, low-carbon circular economy.
