Let's repackage our perspective on plastic.
From our fuel and energy-efficient vehicles and homes, to the wind turbines and solar panels that are increasingly powering our world, Canadian plastics are essential to building a sustainable future.
To reach global environmental targets such as net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, plastic will continue to be part of the solution. After all, with responsible action and management, 60% of clean energy and consumer product needs can be met with recycled plastics.
When Canadians Save Plastic not only do we reduce landfill waste, we also show the world that when responsibly managed, plastic is a fundamental resource in a modern and sustainable future.
More than just a call for action,
it's a call
for meaningful change.

Save Plastic aims to reduce waste and consider plastic differently: as a responsibly managed, valuable resource that is essential for a modern, sustainable way of life.
Our goal is zero plastic waste by 2030.
Supporting the delivery of Canada’s Net Zero Climate target by 2050.
Extended Producer Responsibility
Canadian industry is leading the recycling charge, but we all have a role to play in our sustainable future. It’s about more than keeping plastic out of landfills and extending its lifecycle, it’s also about inspiring new generations of Canadian innovators and promoting accessibility, ensuring all Canadians have access to helpful recycling programs. Recycled and recovered plastics contribute to sustainable product designs and lessen our reliance on fossil fuels as feedstock. Better harmonization of recycling programs across provinces is one way to ensure our shared future.
