Reimagining the future of plastics by embracing smarter product designs, extending product life cycles, and supporting a circular economy.
Réimaginer l’avenir des plastiques en concevant des produits plus intelligemment, avec un cycle de vie prolongé tout en soutenant une économie circulaire.

Keeping plastic in the economy where it better benefits both society and the environment is the primary function of a circular economy! Here are two strategies that keep plastic out of landfills.
The positive impact of some plastics has been kept under wraps, so here's the scoop: when used correctly, cling wraps, clam shells, and other plastic materials dramatically reduce how quickly food spoils and ends up in landfill where it contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. By using food wrap wisely, we can extend the freshness of our food items (and save money by doing so), minimize food waste, and ultimately create a better planet for all. Let's embrace sustainable practices and wrap our way to a greener future! 🌍🌱
A circular economy for plastics is necessary if Canada is to reach its 2050 sustainability goals — but what is it?
A circular economy ensures plastic materials move through a "closed loop" system. In a closed loop system, plastics are able to feed back into the economy and stay out of the environment! 🙌 Check out this quick video to show how we can help the circular economy get on a roll.

Like umbrellas shelter you from the rain and SPF shields you from the sun, plastic food wrap and pouches protect products from the elements, offering three key benefits to the environment and humans alike! These include:
❌ Reduced food waste headed for landfill where it amasses greenhouse gas emissions
🌱 Fresher, better quality food
💵 Cost savings for Canadians who are dealing with the rising costs of living
Managed correctly, plastics support Canada's sustainability goals and create a healthy and thriving food-friendly world for us all.
Fact: The commute from farm to table for fruits and veggies comes with many bumps in the road, including the risk of spoilage. But with the help of lightweight plastics, they're able to maintain their quality and freshness, and prolong their lifespan before entering landfills where they generate harmful greenhouse gases. 🚜 🍇

What could make for a more dynamic duo than two processes working together for a more sustainable future? Enter: Mechanical and advanced recycling.
While mechanical recycling focuses on the physical transformation of materials, advanced recycling employs chemical or molecular processes to transform previously hard to recycle materials into valuable resources. Both types of recycling support a circular economy and help lower our country's carbon emissions footprint.
