Coalition launched in response to the federal government's move to designate all plastic manufactured items as "toxic"
The Order presents barriers to achieving a circular economy in Canada; will result in negative environmental outcomes, increased consumer costs, and severe market uncertainty
OTTAWA, ON, May 19, 2021 /CNW/ - Today, a group of industry leaders launched the Responsible Plastic Use Coalition (RPUC) to pursue legal action against the federal government.
On May 12 the Canadian government added all "plastic manufactured items" to Schedule 1, the List of Toxic Substances of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). This decision is not supported by available science and will have far reaching and unintended consequences, including those beyond our borders.
