Unlike other materials, plastic does not biodegrade. It can take up to 1,000 years to break down, so when it is discarded, it builds up in the environment until it reaches a crisis point. This pollution chokes marine wildlife, damages soil and poisons groundwater, and can cause serious health impacts.
<SUPPR> IN Canada
The Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations (SUPPR) are part of the Government of Canada’s comprehensive plan to address pollution, meet its target of zero plastic waste by 2030, and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
The Regulations prohibit the manufacture, import and sale of single-use plastic checkout bags, cutlery, foodservice ware made from or containing problematic plastics, ring carriers, stir sticks, and straws.
In December 2021, the Government of Canada published the proposed Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations in the Canada Gazette, Part I and Guidance for Selecting Alternatives to the Single-use Plastics in the Proposed Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations. The Regulations proposed to prohibit the manufacture, import and sale of single-use plastic checkout bags, cutlery, foodservice ware made from or containing problematic plastics, ring carriers, stir sticks, and straws. The Guidance for Selecting Alternatives to the Single-use Plastics in the Proposed Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations is intended to help businesses transition away from the 6 categories of single-use plastics that are listed in the proposed Regulations.
On June 22, 2022, the Government of Canada published the Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations (SUPPR), in the Canada Gazette, Part II. The Regulations officially prohibit the manufacture, import and sale of the 6 single-use plastic items identified in the proposed Regulations. An exception to the SUPPR will allow single-use plastic flexible straws to remain available for sale in stores, under certain conditions, for people who need them. The Government published two guidance documents to accompany the Regulations.
