CANADA – Canada Plastics Pact (CPP) is pleased to welcome Tata Consumer Products to its expanding network of stakeholders in Q2 of 2023.
Tata Consumer Products is a global food and beverage company taking proactive measures to drive innovation and increase its use of recycled materials to combat plastic waste and pollution.
As one of more than 90 CPP Partners, Tata Consumer Products collaborates with a diverse group of stakeholders across the plastics value chain to address one of the most pressing environmental issues of today – the plastic crisis.
The latest move will further contribute to the CPP’s efforts to expand its network of stakeholders while advancing its roadmap towards packaging waste circularity.
The CPP’s managing director Cher Mereweather said: “We are pleased to expand our network of stakeholders and are actively seeking to engage all key players of the value chain who have the potential to drive significant change in the way we use and manage plastics.
“Together, we are making progress in how we are accelerating solutions. Through the release of new studies and guidance documents, we are equipping key decision makers with the necessary tools to navigate the evolving plastics landscape and transition away from the linear ‘take, make, waste’ model.”
Since its launch in 2021, the CPP has introduced various efforts that are currently underway. It includes the formation of nine working groups to bring all its key stakeholders together to combat plastic waste and pollution issues.
Recently CPP released two studies to better understand plastic waste management and sustainable packaging.
The ‘British Columbia Industrial, Commercial and Institutional (ICI) Packaging and Paper Products (PPP)’ report, helps to better understand the quantity and composition of plastics and paper products disposal and diversion from the ICI sector.
The Study on Reuse and Refill Plastic Packaging in Canada evaluates and highlights the opportunities to implement reuse and refill systems as a way to reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste.
The CPP’s guidance documents, driven by the collective expertise of its working groups, are a critical tool in supporting stakeholders to implement circular economy principles in their operations, by sharing knowledge and innovative solutions.
The recently released Pathways to Mono-material Flexible Packaging Guide provides solutions to improve the recyclability of flexible plastic packaging and films in Canada.
In the first quarter of 2023, CPP welcomed another five shareholders to its network to help drive circular economy for plastics packaging.
The new Signatory Partners of the CPP are Apical Reuse, Soapstand, Reusables.com, Lantic Inc., and Change Plastic For Good Inc.
