Thank you, Madam Chair and honourable members.
In conclusion, while Canada faces significant challenges with plastic waste, it has a unique opportunity to contribute to global solutions. Here are our recommendations.
First, invest in waste disposal infrastructure, including industrial composting, across Canada.
Second, build advanced recycling systems, including upcycling and leveraging artificial intelligence.
Third, embrace sustainable materials from recycled plastics, renewables or waste.
Fourth, and finally, have enhanced education and awareness from schools to the general public and policy-makers on the impact of sustainable material in mitigating climate change.
The path forward requires collaboration, innovation, investment, incentives, de-risking and policy support.
Thank you.
