Ottawa: Aiming to address plastic pollution and protect biodiversity in the country, the federal government has announced to ban harmful single-use plastics from December 20, 2022.

Now, the manufacture and import for sale of the following harmful single-use plastics in Canada will be allowed, therefore, a ban has been put on use of checkout bags, cutlery,

foodservice ware made from, or containing, problematic plastics that are hard to recycle, stir sticks and

straws.

Moreover, the ban on the manufacture and import of ring carriers will enter into force in June 2023.

Meanwhile, officials said that over the next decade, this world-leading ban on harmful single-use plastics will result in the estimated elimination of over 1.3 million tonnes of hard-to-recycle plastic waste and more than 22,000 tonnes of plastic pollution, which is equivalent to over one million full garbage bags.
