Canada to Enact Single-Use Plastics Ban in 2021 – The Energy Mix
“We will be moving towards a ban on harmful single-use plastics and
we will be doing that in 2021,” Environment and Climate Change Minister
Jonathan Wilkinson said
Thursday, after releasing a draft of the assessment that will be open
for public comment until April 1. While businesses will be given time to
adapt to the new rules, “I think the Canadian public wants to see
action quickly, so certainly if there is a phase-in period, it won’t be
an extensive one.”
