Thank you for your answer.
As we all know, the use of plastics has skyrocketed since the pandemic began—doubling or even tripling in some cases.
How is Canada going to achieve the plastics reduction targets in the Ocean Plastics Charter, to which Canada is a signatory? The charter states that 55% of plastic packaging must be recycled or reused. Currently, only 9% of plastic packaging is recycled or reused, so the gap is very wide.
Does plastic waste shipped out of the country for recycling count towards the recycled plastics target?
