Commentary: Committed to End Plastic Waste

When you consider that three billion people across the globe lack access to proper waste management, its glaringly apparent that every country involved does not have the ability or means to follow an identical prescriptive plan, reminding us to collectively avoid a one-size-fits-all-approach. If we focused on making products more recyclable, using more recycled content in products, and modernizing our waste management infrastructure to economically recycle more plastic, wouldn’t that help lead to solving the problem of plastic waste once and for all? The Plastics Industry Association, our members and our industry colleagues will be in Ottawa, ready to roll up our sleeves and come to a binding instrument we can all agree on.
