e-387 (Waste recycling)

E-petition
Initiated by Charles Scholey from Toronto, Ontario

Original language of petition: English

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:
  • Lots of recyclable packages are put into landfills each year;
  • Some packaging has recycling information that is hard to see or it is not present; and
  • Consumers don't always understand or follow those signs.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canadato modify the Consumer Packaging and Labeling Act to force all packaging on consumer products to be clearly labeled as either recyclable or non-recyclable, and for more education to be given to Canadians on what plastic recycling signs mean.
