CCCA Applauds Canada’s 2030 Plastic Waste Reduction Goals The Canadian Corrugated and Containerboard Associa- tion (CCCA) welcomed and applauded the announcement last week from Canada’s Environment and Climate Change Minister Jonathan Wilkinson about the initial list of banned plastic products, the federal government’s next steps to- wards achieving its zero plastic waste by 2030 plan. The pandemic forced government and industry to focus on the country’s collective health, but it is time to shift gears and help our economy move forward and recover, which Fi- nance Minister Chrystia Freeland has said must be green. “It is refreshing to learn the chemical producers are very much in favor of ERP as a key plank in this strategy,” said CCCA Executive Director Allen Kirkpatrick. “With only nine per cent of plastics actually being recycled, there is a lot of work to do. The corrugated industry has developed the infrastructure to collect and recycle more than 90 per cent of our production across Canada. It has not been easy and was not cheap, but we are proud of the results. “We also believe that the Federal Environment and Cli- mate Change Minister must include steps to implement national, consistent regulations for the management of these targets. The myriad of rules created by multiple waste-management entities is foreboding and we could experience unintended results.”
