Banning of certain single-use plastics: how to follow through?
With the growing need to reduce the environmental footprint of individuals and businesses, Canada recently announced that it is adjusting its plastics regulations. In order to reduce the consumption of polluting materials, the government will ban the manufacture, sale and import of components deemed harmful to the environment by 2025.
The entry into force of this regulation is a golden opportunity for your company to review and optimize your packaging. In addition to making you more eco-responsible, this revision could help you reduce your expenses.
