In Canada, only 8% of #plasticwaste is #recycled; 4% is 🔥, falsely called "advanced recycling". It is expected to rise to 22% by 2030, releasing more cancer-causing #pollutants in the air.

EPR stands for extended producer responsibility, legislation designed to hold #producers & #manufacturers #accountable for the #pollution they create by making producers PAY for end-of-life processing. 💵💰
NL is doing EPR - we want no #loopholes! @mmsbnl

Studies show that by⏫refillable alternatives by 50%, we could see a⏬of plastic pollution in the ocean by up to 83%. #Recycling is not the answer.
There is currently little #incentive for #refillables in #Newfoundland and #Labrador. @mmsbnl

@tooneerdekens @Plasticsimpact @mmsbnl Absolutely! That's why we think it's critical to focus on upstream solutions like reusables and refillables instead of downstream solutions like recycling, and especially avoid toxic downstream solutions like incineration.

@AnglicanEastNL @JustMarkNichols @anglicanlife Hi! The easiest way to help is to sign the letter at this link and spread the word (mailing lists, phone trees, whatever works for you!): https://t.co/tvq37wUGMl
To do more, you can reach out to the MMSB to share more in-depth feedback on EPR.
Thank you for your support! <3
