About the Guide

This comprehensive resource was developed for industry to take urgent measures to eliminate unnecessary and problematic plastics.

This guidance was developed by a cross-section of CPP Partners to be used by all Canadian stakeholders that put plastics in the market. It provides guidance on how to determine whether various plastic packaging is necessary, and if it is, what packaging is likely to have a place in the circular economy.

What’s Inside: 

• 13 unnecessary or problematic items flagged for elimination
• 4 items flagged in transition as industry collaborates to scale solutions
• A decision tree: a guide to help identify unnecessary & problematic plastics
