Yes, absolutely. It's worth noting.
When we want to solve a problem in good faith, but fail to take into account the life cycle of both types of material—the old plastic products and the new material proposed as a replacement—this can have a ripple effect. We've repeatedly made that mistake in the past. We want to address the issue that arises when a material that harms the environment reaches the end of its life cycle. We then replace the material with something that causes other issues, such as higher energy consumption in a particular location. In Canada, these methods have been increasingly used over the past ten years or so, both to guide the industries and to inspire public policy decision‑making.
