14 Jun 2019 --- This week in packaging, Canada announced its intention to ban “harmful” single-use plastics by as early as 2021. The initiative is modelled on the EU’s Single-Use Plastic Directive and aims to combat growing levels of ocean waste. Similarly, the California Assembly approved measures to cut packaging and plastic waste by 75 percent by 2030. Also, German supermarket Aldi revealed plans to replace plastic bags with paper or compostable alternatives across all of its UK stores in two comparative trials.
