Major Canadian companies across food, beverage and packaging sectors have collaborated to develop a circular economy for plastics in the country.
Players of the Circular Plastics Taskforce initiative (GAPC) include packaging company Cascades, dairy company Danone Canada, fresh-produce packer Dyne-a-pak, beverage producer Keurig Dr Pepper Canada, and speciality media and packaging company TC Transcontinental.
These firms have partnered with the Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA), Quebec-based research institute Centre for Technology Transfer in Industrial Ecology (CTTEI), and Chamard Environmental Strategies to improve plastics management across the recycling value chain.
