We are happy to see that pressure from the public, including Sierra Club Canada members who sent countless messages to the government, has resulted in this ban also being applied to the export of these products.

Here’s the plan 👇
✅ 2022: ban on the manufacture and import of these single use plastics
✅ 2023: ban on the sale
✅ 2025: ban on the export
Together these actions will eliminate more than 1.3 MILLION tonnes of plastic waste!
