How Can We Improve?
1. Educate the public to utilize where possible products that are not clear or translucent.
2. Give preference to Made in Canada products and those manufactured using Canadian plastic
waste.
3. In public tenders for plastic goods require minimum levels of Canadian PCR (preferably Ontario).
4. Encourage producers to produce products that are made from single types of resin. As an
example, do not mix in one product PE and PP.
Ultimately, our long-term goal is for Ontario to maintain its leading role and being the flagship of
North America when it comes to recycling:
• We should strive to achieve 100% conversion (we will have to allow incineration).
• We should close landfills
• We should pass laws that require PCR content in various products at various levels.
• Examples – conversion levels in Europe, minimum PET content in bottles in Europe, and
CIF tender for Blue Bins
