Quebec is thinking about what to do with the thousands of tonnes of plexiglass that owners of public spaces will be getting rid of when they’re no longer needed.
Asked about the issue at the Montreal Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday, Environment Minister Benoit Charette said he’s looking at “all these quantities with a worried eye,” since Quebec — and Canada, for that matter — does not have a company capable of recycling the transparent acrylic panels used as makeshift barriers to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. And no measure has been implemented to prepare for its recuperation or storage while the government waits for a solution to dispose of them.
