Circular Plastics

This work stream features a series of thought-provoking and action-oriented virtual events focused on creating a zero waste plastics circular economy for Canada. The track builds on a webinar in November 2020 and a highly interactive workshop in February 2021 on the ‘solution pathways’, and is focused on:

  • Linking with the work of the Canada Plastics Pact, including road-mapping work and broader public engagement and awareness building, including considerations for product design, materials circularity, and policies and standards.
  • Featuring preeminent experts from business, academia, government, and civil society, coming together in rigorous discussions that break down silos, identify barriers, and focus on outcomes.
