The government of Canada on Monday published final regulations to prohibit 'harmful' single-use plastics, with a ban on manufacturing and importing most of these items to come into effect in December.
"The ban on the manufacture and import of these harmful single-use plastics, barring a few targeted exceptions to recognize specific cases, will come into effect in December 2022," the government said on Monday.
The sale of these items will be prohibited as of December 2023 to provide businesses in Canada with enough time to transition and to deplete their existing stocks, the government said. "The Government will also prohibit the export of plastics in the six categories by the end of 2025, making Canada the first among peer jurisdictions to do so internationally," it added.
Up to 15 billion plastic checkout bags are used every year and about 16 million straws are used daily in Canada, according to government figures. Prohibitions on the manufacture and import of ring carriers and flexible straws packaged with beverage containers will come into force in June 2023 and the prohibition on the sale of these items will come into force in June 2024.Reporting by Kanishka Singh in Washington; Editing by Alex Richardson and Bernadette Baum
