“The Government of Canada is establishing a Federal Plastics Registry (the Registry) as part of its comprehensive plan to achieve zero plastic waste by 2030. This initiative aims to improve plastic waste management through data collection, transparency, and harmonization of extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies nationwide. The Registry will require companies involved in the lifecycle of plastics to report annually on various aspects of their plastic products, from production to end-of-life management, and will impact a broad swathe of businesses across the country.”

“The Government of Canada is working with all levels of government, industry, non-government organizations, researchers and Canadians to take action on plastic waste and pollution.”

“The Government will require plastic packaging in Canada to contain at least 50% recycled content by 2030. This supports the target of 50% recycled content in plastic products by 2030, endorsed by the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment as part of Phase 1 of the Canada-wide Action Plan on Zero Plastic Waste”

“The systems change being sought through the framework is necessary to achieve specific targets that support the Government of Canada’s broader goal of moving toward zero plastic waste, including: // implementing Canada’s commitment to require at least 50% recycled content in plastic packaging by 2030, as outlined in the 2021 mandate letter of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change”

“As part of Canada’s plan to achieve zero plastic waste by 2030, we will require plastic packaging in Canada to contain at least 50% recycled content by 2030.”
