Canada Introduces Federal Plastics Registry, Targets Zero Plastic Waste
Apr 22, 2024, 06:03 PM
Canada has introduced a new Federal Plastics Registry as part of its broader initiative to combat plastic pollution and move toward #ZeroPlasticWaste. This registry mandates plastic producers to report the quantity and type of plastic they introduce into the market. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault highlighted the move as a continuation of the government's efforts following the popular ban on single-use plastics, one of their "most popular announcements" since 2015. The registry aims to track plastic production and ensure compliance with recycling and reuse standards, addressing social and environmental injustices. Guilbeault also noted the public's demand for action against plastic pollution, amidst questions about the support for the government's environmental policies.
