CIAC and its members are dedicated to reducing and successfully managing plastic waste while transitioning into an efficient, circular economy. We have an innovative, effective approach that prioritizes extending product life cycles, extracting maximum value from resources in use, recovering plastic materials at the end of their service life, and getting as much value as possible from plastic products.

Plastics are an integral part of our modern way of life. While plastics are an important part of our economy, plastic waste doesn’t belong in the environment. CIAC and Canadian Plastic Industry Association (CPIA) are dedicated to having 100 per cent of plastics packaging being reused, recycled, or recovered by 2040 and 100 per cent of plastics packaging being recyclable or recoverable by 2030.

With more than 95 per cent of all manufactured products relying on chemistry, our sector plays a pivotal role in addressing climate change and developing a low-carbon energy future for all Canadians. From the production of solar panels and wind turbines to improved insulation for homes and lighter plastics for automobiles, chemistry is a driving force helping Canada transform into a low-carbon economy.
