The Government of Canada is implementing a comprehensive plan to reduce plastic pollution and move toward a circular economy. As part of this, it has published an information-gathering notice under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA) to collect data for the Federal Plastics Registry. This registry will require companies, including resin manufacturers, service providers, and producers of plastic products, to report annually on the quantity and types of plastic they manufacture, import, and place on the market. They will also be required to report on the quantity of plastic collected and diverted, reused, repaired, remanufactured, refurbished, recycled, processed into chemicals, composted, incinerated, and landfilled. This data will help identify opportunities to reduce plastic waste and pollution.
