The proposed regulations are not intended to capture small businesses or other grocery retailers … Major Canadian grocers should take advantage of the opportunity to provide their insight to ECCC prior to the draft notice’s scheduled publication in Autumn 2023 …” #PlasticWaste #SingleUsePlastic #FoodPackaging #Recycling @McCarthy_ca
