We in the chemical industry have been very adamant about working with the federal and provincial governments. We think a national strategy to tackle plastic waste is paramount and are willing to put dollars and investments into making sure that a strategy would move forward with advanced recycling technologies. We are willing to sign on, and are advocates for, extended producer responsibility. Basically, what we want to do is to make sure these facilities get up and running. We want to make sure that plastic waste is collected, and we actually want to stop it from being a waste. We want it to be a resource for the circular economy and the advanced recycling facilities, going forward.
We have members in our national association, CIAC, that represent the entire value chain, from recyclers, brand owners and converters all the way to the resin producers; and we're all on the same page. We're concerned about the bans. These will have a negative impact on the economy and on investment, and there's a better path forward.
