A CONSTANTLY EVOLVING REGULATORY FRAMEWORK
The Government of Canada continues to take new steps to better manage plastics and move toward its goal of zero plastic waste. This includes investing in science and improving our understanding of plastic waste and pollution, greening government operations and procurement, collaborating with provinces and territories, and working with industry leaders to facilitate industry-led solutions.
The Government will require plastic packaging in Canada to contain at least 50% recycled content by 2030. This supports the goal of 50% recycled content in plastic products by 2030, which was 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 Government proposes to issue regulations using powers under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) to implement the framework. The proposed regulations would have 3 key elements:
Recycled content levels and timelines: Each company subject to the regulations would be required to use a specified minimum amount of recycled content within each broad packaging category (rigid or flexible). The required amount would be based on the amount of plastic used in, and percentage targets for, each product category (e.g., beverage bottles) and would have to be calculated by each company on an annual basis according to a formula.
