The APR has long recognized that significant, system-wide change is imperative to realize a circular economy for plastics. Through fostering innovation and collaboration, APR partners with the CPT in taking meaningful steps to develop solutions that maximize the volumes of all plastics that can be recycled and increase the use of recycled plastic content in products.
“The Circular Plastics Taskforce is helping to develop and implement sortation and recycling solutions in Canada for hard-to-recycle plastics in the context of extended producer responsibility programs across the country,” said Steve Alexander, APR President & CEO. “APR’s tools and resources are the starting point for enabling compatibility between package designs and the recycling infrastructure. By leveraging each organization’s strengths, we will help achieve an effective and robust plastics recycling system in Canada and beyond.”
