Studies show that 86% of Canada’s plastic waste ends in landfills. While recycling of plastics is not a new topic, the efficiency of these efforts is hindered by several factors, from the wide variety of plastic material types to the availability of recycling infrastructure.
Moreover, there is no clear, standardized definition of what constitutes ‘recycled plastic’ and what are the measurable – and comparable – outcomes of the process.
The article from CSA Group explains why defining plastics recycling is important and how it can impact collecting, reporting, and verification of data on recycling rates. You will also learn about CSA Group’s research and a new standard in development that aims to help establish a circular economy for plastics in Canada.
