Submission to Environment and Climate Change Canada Regarding the Creation of the Federal Plastics Registry
The Canadian Chamber advocates for a balanced and collaborative approach that considers the economic implications of regulatory measures while addressing environmental concerns.
Plastics provide value through the use of thousands of products that add comfort, convenience, and safety to our everyday lives. The potential lies in replacing linear behaviours with a more sustainable, circular economy where plastics are recovered and re-purposed to capture the value-add potential for new, innovative products derived from a plastics “commodity.”
While we acknowledge and support the government’s commitment to reducing plastic pollution and waste, we believe that the Federal Plastics Registry as currently designed will not meet this public policy objective.
