The Government of Canada requires producers to take more responsibility for the plastic they put on the market

Summary:

The Government of Canada has announced the creation of a Federal Plastics Registry to track plastic production from beginning to end, with the goal of reducing plastic waste and pollution. The registry will require plastic resin manufacturers, producers, and service providers to report annually on the types and quantities of plastic they produce and distribute in Canada. This data will provide insights for Canadians, innovators, and decision-makers to identify opportunities to reduce plastic waste and pollution, and monitor progress over time.
