“The Canada Plastics Pact’s 2020 Baseline Report provides data points that show that, while many of our CPP Partners are actively working to tackle the issues around plastics waste and pollution, we are just at the beginning of supporting the system-wide changes we’ll need to see to support the circular plastics economy of the future. There were good examples of leadership and collaboration underway in Canada, but many of the efforts were fragmented and lacked scale,” says Paul Shorthouse, Interim Managing Director at the Canada Plastics Pact. “While there is a lot of work still to be done, I’m excited about the opportunities in front of us and having this baseline to help measure our progress towards CPP’s 2025 targets and beyond is a critical first step.”
