FPA Opposes Adding Plastic Manufactured Items to Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA)

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 proposal to add plastic manufactured items to Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act (CEPA). This is a follow-up letter to FPA’s earlier submissions 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, and the Federal Government’s plan to ban single-use plastics and declare them toxic under CEPA, where FPA expressed the same concerns.
