Guidance for selecting alternatives to single-use plastics as defined in the Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations.: En14-494/2-2023E-PDF
"On June 22, 2022, the Government of Canada published the Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations (the "Regulations"), in the Canada Gazette, Part II, that prohibit the manufacture, import, sale and eventually export of six categories of single-use plastic (SUP) items. The categories of items are checkout bags, cutlery, foodservice ware made from or containing problematic plastics, ring carriers, stir sticks and straws. To help businesses and organizations transition away from these products, the Government of Canada has developed this guidance document outlining important considerations to take into account when selecting alternative products or systems that prevent plastic pollution and help Canada transition to a circular economy"--Purpose, page 4.
