I agree with that.
One issue Dow has is with the 2025 sustainability goals, what we refer to as a circular economy. One aspect we consider is that we want to make sure that any waste generated from one process is used as a raw material for another. One aspect that CEPA can look at from a risk perspective is how the waste streams are generated, whether there are other opportunities for them, how they are disposed of, whether they can be rolled into other products in manufacturing opportunities within Canada.
As I've alluded to in my talk, it's appropriate and timely to have a review of CEPA. What we don't want to do is throw the baby out with the bathwater, so to speak. One way in which CEPA can be strengthened is by looking at the holistic circular economy of the products that are developed and seeing what happens at the end of the day to these products.
