FPA Opposes the Canadian Federal Government’s Proposal to Add Plastics to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act

I am writing on behalf of the Flexible Packaging Association (FPA), who is the voice of U.S. manufacturers of flexible packaging and their suppliers, regarding the proposed ban on single-use plastics and declaration as toxic under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). This is a follow-up letter to FPA’s earlier submission on the Government of Canada’s Draft Science Assessment of Plastic Pollution (Draft), published in the Gazette Part 1 on February 1, 2020, under CEPA, 1999, where FPA expressed the same concerns.
