Canada Plastics Pact Launches
Buyer’s Guide
The Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) has launched to end plas- tic waste and pollution.The Pact brings together key players to collectively work toward ambitious 2025 goals that they could never achieve on their own. More than 40 Partners have joined the Canada Plastics Pact, representing diverse parts of the plastics value chain, from leading brands to waste management companies, gov- ernment institutions, and NGOs. Because plastic packaging accounts for 47 percent of all plastic waste, it is the immedi- ate focus of the CPP’s collective efforts. The CPP will reportedly enable companies across the Canadian plastics value chain to collaborate and innovate. It will build on significant work that has already been un- derway to reduce plastics waste and will grow over time. Together, Partners will rethink the way they design, use, and reuse plastics, thereby charting a path toward a circular economy for plastic by 2025. The CPP is working toward four clear, actionable targets by 2025: • Define a list of plastic packaging that is to be designated as problematic or unnecessary and take measures to elimi- nate them; • Support efforts toward 100 percent of plastic packaging being designed to be reusable, recyclable or compostable; * Undertake ambitious actions to ensure that at least 50 percent of plastic packaging is effectively recycled or com- posted; • Ensure an average of at least 30 percent recycled con- tent across all plastic packaging (by weight). The immediate next step for the CPP to achieve its goals by 2025 is to develop a roadmap for action.To be fully trans- parent and ensure measurable action, a CPP progress report will be made publicly available each year.
