[Plastic] The Canadian Plastics Convention was issued to solve the problem of plastic pollution

The relationship between Canada and plastic waste has fundamentally changed: the introduction of the Canadian Plastics Convention (CPP) will speed up the resolution of plastic waste and pollution.

More than 40 partners have joined CPP, and they represent different parts of the plastics value chain, from leading brands to waste management companies, government agencies and non-governmental organizations.

David Hughes is the CEO of Natural Step Canada, the host organization of CPP.

CPP will build on the important work that has been carried out to reduce plastic waste and will develop over time.

Focus on bold systemic change, CPP will work to phase out we do not need plastics through innovation to ensure that what we need is a plastic reusable, recycled or compostable, and recyclable plastics we use to make it stay In the economy, stay away from the environment.

In addition, CPP will also determine a list of problematic or unnecessary plastic packaging, and take measures to eliminate these packaging or ensure that at least 50% of the plastic packaging is recycled or composted, and all plastic packaging is calculated by weight, on average At least 30% recycled content.

Canada is the latest country to join the Allen MacArthur Foundation Plastics Pact Network (a global organization dealing with plastic waste and pollution), a non-governmental organization for the circular economy.

In line with its vision of a plastic circular economy, CPP promotes innovation and knowledge sharing, and promotes cooperative actions and solutions for the country’s unique needs and challenges.

Sonja Wegge, Project Manager of the Plastics Convention of the Allen MacArthur Foundation, said: “By setting clear goals for 2025 and working together to achieve these goals, companies and policy makers who have joined the CPP are taking steps on the road to the plastics circular economy.

"We are very happy to welcome CPP to our growing global convention network, and hope to see many other organizations unite to support the vision of a plastics circular economy, which has brought together more than 1,000 organizations worldwide through our new plastics economy initiative .

In order to achieve the goal of 2025, the next direct step of CPP is to develop a roadmap for action.
