About The Submission:
The sheer volume of synthetic (plastic) apparel and textiles imported into Canada, sold and used for a short time before being discarded makes this sector an important target for measures under Canada’s strategy to end plastic waste and pollution. Worldwide, a majority of textiles are now made from plastic fibres such as polyester. We strongly urge the federal government to avoid a focus on measures in the Roadmap that support attempts to collect and more effectively manage what is on the market today at end of life, including funding for recycling infrastructure.
