The Government of Canada announced today a series of moves aimed at keeping single-use plastics out of the environment, including the introduction of bans on single-use plastic shopping bags and most plastic straws.
Up to 15 billion plastic checkout bags are used yearly in Canada, and approximately 16 million straws are used daily. According to the government, moving toward a more circular economy for plastics could reduce carbon emissions by 1.8 megatonnes annually.
