Earlier this year, the Minister of Environment and Climate Change proposed a P2 plastics ban. To those watching at home, it's a new plastics ban; it's not something from the old ban, but will prevent produce from having plastic packaging.
We heard in the last meeting that it could cost upwards of $6 billion down the supply chain, which would ultimately fall on consumers. The price of food would go up if this plastics ban were to go ahead.
Did your company participate in the consultations for the proposed plastics ban for fresh food? Do you believe consumers will see an increase to the price of food if this plastics ban is imposed? As well, do you think the timeline is achievable?
