Canada plans to ban single-use plastics by 2021

Canada plans to ban harmful single-use plastics by 2021, with products like bags, straws, and cutlery potentially included. Producers will be responsible for their products' lifecycle, and recycling plans are required. Less than 10% of plastics are currently recycled in Canada, with 3 million tons of waste generated annually. This waste harms wildlife and pollutes environments. The ban aims to reduce pollution, protect wildlife, and create jobs in recycling.
