The world doesn’t agree on much, but there is one clear point of consensus around plastics: the world is angry about plastic pollution. In a few short weeks, Canada will be at centre stage for the global negotiations on how to address the plastic pollution crisis. From April 23-29, nearly 170 countries and thousands of representatives will convene in Ottawa to debate an international agreement to stop plastic waste in the environment.
In its Turning Off the Tap Report, the UN recognized the challenging economics of recycling compared to virgin plastic production, and cautioned that global targets would not be met unless “recycling becomes a more stable and profitable venture.' Unfortunately, the current draft text of the UN agreement does not go far enough to prioritize recycled content over virgin plastic.
