Canada sets sights on next plastic waste target: food packaging
Canada sets sights on next plastic waste target: food packaging
The federal government is calling for input from grocers, food and beverage producers, provincial governments and the general population.
Good. This is the way.
6ReplyThey should look at the ridiculous amounts of plastic used for cannabis packaging too. I can only assume it's some kind of government requirement, the plastic use is insane here compared to anything I've purchased in states where it's legal.
4ReplyI was looking at a lot of those packaging materials and a lot could be replaced by cardboard. It'll be tough, though.
3ReplyYeah, do that. But Canada should set its sights on eliminating shale oil production -- things that will ACTUALLY make a big difference.
1ReplyIn case you haven't heard, they are ending subsidies for this kind of thing.
2ReplyGlad to hear it. No reason to subsidize super profitable and world-destroying endeavors.
But eliminating subsidies isn't nearly good enough. After all, were not talking about ending subsidies to single use plastic containers.
