First, at Réseau Environnement, we believe that the green economy is profitable. It's good for our own economy to use recycled plastics rather than raw materials. We currently use mostly virgin resins from China and India. They go around the world and we process them, rather than recovering our own material. For this reason, we think that the Canadian government must set an example with its own furniture, for example, and must innovate and become a world leader in the green economy.
The world leaders will be the ones capable of collecting, recovering and producing as little plastic as possible. This is a global issue. We want Canada to lead the way and become a model for the green economy. This need will exist all around the world. If regulations aren't created here, they'll be created in other places. The market is headed in this direction anyway, so why not stay competitive?
