Some Good News
Nearly 100 cities, towns, and counties across the US have banned plastic bags, half of them in the past year.
In an attempt to End Plastic Pollution, the Biden administration has recently announced its 10-year plan to phase out single-use plastic products on US public lands, including all American national parks.
As a broad overview, this is the timeline for Canada’s new plastic ban:
- A ban on the manufacturing and importation of single use plastic by Dec 2022
- The prompt end to sales of single use plastic products by the year 2023
- Prohibited export of single use plastic products by 2025
