CA: Growing access to plastics recycling

The Canadian Plastics Industry Association (CPIA) has released its “2014 Recycling Access Report for Plastic Containers and Packaging”, which shows that recycling programs have become a regular part of daily life for the majority of Canadians, and the number of recycling programs that now accept and recycle a wide range of plastic packaging has grown to the largest ever in 10 years.
While access to recycling of plastic beverage containers continues to hold steady at 98% or more, the report found that the biggest gains have been realised for non-bottle rigid containers. For non-container plastic packaging, there have also been steady gains (News Release CPIA, 4 February 2015).
