Canada Plastics Pact Welcomes Three New Partners to Advance a Circular Economy for Plastics
OTTAWA, December 23, 2024 – The Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) is pleased to welcome Hilton Foods, Magnomer, and Multy to its expanding network of Partners in Q4 of 2024.
Hilton Foods operates in 10 countries worldwide, supplying retail and foodservice partners across 19 markets. Their products reach over 160 million consumers across more than 20 markets and continually seek new ways of offering a range of healthier and more sustainable products.
Magnomer is a startup offering patented functional coatings technology to help transform problematic packaging elements into recycling preferred design.
Their patented Magmark SS coatings make packaging recycling-friendly by adding magnetization and optical detectability to shrink sleeves, ensuring easy sortation and separation in recycling operations. Transparent, food-safe, and printable on labels without altering branding, Magmark SS coatings can be applied to PETG, transforming it into a material that can be easily captured and recycled within current recycling infrastructure.
Multy has manufacturing and distribution facilities in Canada, Poland and USA and provides a comprehensive and diverse selection of patio living categories, planters, gardening products and floor protection mats.
They are also a leader in material science innovation, diverting landfill-bound plastic waste and transforming it to new products for home, garden and industry. REDU Materials™ represents their experimentation in unconventional waste streams to reduce the impact of product manufacturing on the planet.
“We are pleased to see a growing number of leaders and experts in the plastics value chain joining us,” said Cher Mereweather, Managing Director of the CPP. “We look forward to working with these new Partners to develop, test, and scale bold, innovative solutions that will address plastic waste and pollution, and advance the circular economy for plastics in Canada.”
As global negotiations for a plastics treaty near their conclusion in 2025, the world increasingly acknowledges plastic waste as one of the most urgent environmental crises of our era, demanding urgent action.
But a world without plastics isn’t the answer. Our plastic crisis isn’t just about what we throw away, it’s about the plastics we create and how.
The CPP – by design – has a diversified partnership that represents the broad spectrum of interests, resources, and areas of expertise needed to overcome this complexity. Its Partners are shaping the agenda and direction for Canada to address the plastic crisis.
A future without plastic waste and pollution is possible. The CPP is advancing real progress to get there—as a whole system. Join the Canada Plastics Pact in shaping the future of plastics in Canada.
