Canada Announces Public Consultation on Plastic Pollution Reporting Requirements

The Government of Canada, via Environment and Climate Change Canada, opens a 45-day public comment period until February 13, 2024, for proposed plastic reporting in 2024-2026.

The initiative seeks comprehensive data on plastic lifecycle, enhancing pollution management. Producers must provide standardized information. Concurrent efforts involve pollution prevention planning, single-use plastics regulations, and a Federal Plastics Registry creation for effective plastic waste control.
