Canadian companies can no longer import or make plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers by the end of this year
Canada's Minister of Environment and Climate Change, Steven Guilbeault speaks during a press conference in Ottawa on Oct. 26, 2021. Guilbeault announced on Monday the dates that Canada will ban some single-use plastics.he Canadian government is banning companies from importing or making plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers by the end of this year, their sale by the end of next year, and their export by the end of 2025.
The federal government listed plastics as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act last year which paved the way for regulations to ban some. However, a consortium of plastics producers is suing the government over the toxic designation in a case expected to be heard later this year. Initially, he said the ban would happen in 2021, but the scientific assessment of plastics that was needed to put the ban in motion was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic.
