Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) is pleased to welcome five new Signatory Partners in Q1 of 2023 who united under the CPP’s shared action plan to build a circular economy for plastics packaging in Canada.
The new Signatory Partners of the CPP are: Apical Reuse, Soapstand, Reusables.com, Lantic Inc., and Change Plastic For Good Inc.
CPP’s growing list of Partners is taking innovative approaches to keep plastics in the economy and out of the environment. Apical has developed a reusable cannabis packaging system that cuts costs for licensed producers and manufacturers while reducing single-use waste. Soapstand’s affordable refill stations promote waste-free packaging. Reusables.com is transforming the disposable culture at cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores with its cup and container sharing platform. Lantic Inc., a leading Canadian sugar and sweetener company, is dedicated to working with the plastics packaging ecosystem to minimize its environmental impact. Change Plastic For Good, a biotechnology group, is offering a viable and innovative alternative to traditional plastics, which is changing the way we think about and use plastic.
The CPP, which has more than 90 Partners, is collaborating with a diverse group of stakeholders across the plastics value chain to address one of the most pressing environmental issues of today. Through this collaboration, the CPP continues to work towards ambitious targets for circular plastics packaging in Canada, set out in its Roadmap to 2025.
Since the CPP launched in January 2021, various initiatives have been underway to address the opportunities and challenges to enacting systems change, such as the formation of nine working groups that bring together the essential actors to tackle the key issues around plastic packaging waste and pollution. Most recently, the CPP is proud to announce the launch of a new working group focused on advancing reuse systems within the Canadian marketplace.
In addition, the CPP, in collaboration with PAC Global, has been leading the consultation and implementation of the Golden Design Rules for Plastics Packaging in the Canadian marketplace, which was developed by the Consumer Goods Forum’s (CGF) Plastic Waste Coalition of Action.
