Summary by Ground News
The Canadian government is banning companies from importing or making plastic bags and Styrofoam takeout containers by the end of this year, their sale by the end of next year and their export by the end of 2025. The ban will affect plastic straws, bags, cutlery, stir sticks and six-pack rings that hold cans and bottles. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau first promised in June 2019 that his government would phase out the production and use of hard-to-recycle plastic items.
