(UNCEDED COAST SALISH TERRITORIES/VANCOUVER) – In response to today’s release of the draft proposed Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations by the federal government, Greenpeace Canada’s Head of Oceans and Plastic Campaign, Sarah King said:
“The proposed single-use plastics ban regulations are a missed opportunity to signal a true shift to a low carbon, reuse-centered zero waste economy. The ban scope is far too limited, the timeline does not reflect the urgency of the converging waste-climate-pollution-biodiversity global crises, and harmful plastics can continue to be exported. The federal government is not acting like it acknowledges we have a real problem here.
