The Canadianized Golden Design Rules for Plastic Packaging were developed in partnership with the Consumer Goods Forum’s (CGF) Plastic Waste Coalition of Action.
These voluntary, independent, and time-bound commitments outline specific design changes, aligned with globally recognized technical guidelines and the targets laid out in the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s (EMF) New Plastics Economy Global Commitment.
In Canada, the implementation of the Golden Design Rules nationally is being led by the Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) which is part of the Global Plastics Pact Network.
A clear framework that aims to drive innovation and scalable actions that will result in less plastics packaging overall and easier to recycle plastics packaging in Canada.
