The case concerns the federal government’s decision, announced in May, 2021, to add plastic manufactured items to Schedule 1 of CEPA as a toxic substance
. An industry group, the Responsible Plastic Use Coalition, filed an application that month for judicial review, and it is seeking an order to quash the decision.on some single-use plastics, citing the CEPA designation and a 2020 federal study on plastic pollution.
The federal government’s decision to order the category of “plastic manufactured items” to be added to the list of toxic substances under CEPA takes in any plastic item formed into a specific shape, says a court document filed by the applicants, which include the Responsible Plastic Use Coalition, as well as Dow Chemical Canada ULC, Imperial Oil Ltd. and Nova Chemicals Corp.
“We believe that the only way to get harmful single-use plastics out of our lives, out of the environment and out of the economy is through a federal ban,” she said.
