I'd like to answer quickly, if I may.
Currently, the plastics used by recycling facilities doesn't sell at a high enough price. Adding value to the plastic is key, because it doesn't really have any value as we speak. If we can't process it locally, if we can't make sure that it's recycled in Canada and that by-products are developed locally, it will always end up in the environment.
Knowing where the plastic is going and taking the necessary steps to raise the price are essential. The fact of the matter is that people are not inclined to recycle what doesn't have value. Essentially, that means building the negative externalities of plastic into the cost, and that can be done in a number of ways.
