Single-use plastics seem unlikely to return despite federal ban overturned

In a Thursday ruling, the Federal Court of Canada declared the government's ban on single-use plastics to be unconstitutional, throwing the cabinet order into question. However, despite the ruling, it seems unlikely that Canadians will revert to single-use items as they have already shifted towards using reusable or compostable products. Three out of the five large grocery chains in Canada tell Global News they have no intention of turning back to plastic bags. The federal government says Canadians recycle three million tonnes of plastic waste every year, but only nine per cent of it can be recycled with the rest ending up in the landfill. Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault said in a statement that the federal government is “strongly considering an appeal” of the decision. Global’s Kyle Benning reports.
