CANADA – Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) is pleased to welcome five new Signatory Partners in Q1 of 2023 who united under the CPP’s shared action plan to build a circular economy for plastic packaging in Canada.
The new Signatory Partners of the CPP are Apical Reuse, Soapstand, Reusables.com, Lantic Inc., and Change Plastic For Good Inc.
CPP’s growing list of Partners is taking innovative approaches to keep plastics in the economy and out of the environment.
Apical has developed a reusable cannabis packaging system that cuts costs for licensed producers and manufacturers while reducing single-use waste.
Soapstand’s affordable refill stations promote waste-free packaging by making “sustainable” accessible, convenient and affordable.
The company also introduced a new initiative called Drinkfill for kombucha and coffee refills. Elegantly designed and easy to use, the zero-waste stations blend seamlessly with a variety of décor aesthetics.
With a small team, Soapstand is working to make a big impact on environmental sustainability in the city.
Reusables.com is transforming the disposable culture at cafes, restaurants, and grocery stores with its cup and container-sharing platform.
Lantic Inc., a leading Canadian sugar and sweetener company, is dedicated to working with the plastics packaging ecosystem to minimize its environmental impact.
Meanwhile, Change Plastic For Good, a biotechnology group, is offering a viable and innovative alternative to traditional plastics, which is changing the way we think about and use plastic.
Paul Shorthouse, Interim Managing Director at the CPP said: “We are pleased to welcome these innovative and forward-thinking companies as new Signatory Partners of the Canada Plastics Pact.
“By working collaboratively across the entire value chain, addressing both upstream and downstream innovation, we can ensure that plastics are used and disposed of sustainably and responsibly.
“We are particularly encouraged to be joined by more companies focused on upstream innovation and reuse systems, which will accelerate progress towards achieving a circular plastics packaging economy.”
The CPP, which has more than 90 Partners, is collaborating with a diverse group of stakeholders across the plastics value chain to address one of today’s most pressing environmental issues.
Through this collaboration, the CPP continues to work towards ambitious targets for circular plastics packaging in Canada, set out in its Roadmap to 2025.
