Federal Plastic Registry Phase 2 Update

On Thursday, June 19, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) released a summary of the proposed content they intend to include in their upcoming official guidance on reporting to Phase 2 of the Federal Plastic Registry. Phase 2 greatly expands the scope of reporting required in Phase 1. A consultation has been launched with this new release, which will be due July 24, 2025. RCC will be developing positions for review by members of our Plastics committee and is simultaneously advocating for a delay in reporting for Phase 1, which is due September 29, 2025, by requesting a minimum 6-month extension due to delays resulting from the election and the need for further guidance and engagement from government.
