Welcome to the Single-Use Plastic (SUP) Ban Hub
Your starting point for making a real difference in the fight against plastic pollution!
Canada is taking a stand against plastic pollution by introducing a groundbreaking single-use plastic ban. This is our opportunity to make a lasting impact on our environment, wildlife, and communities.
On June 22, 2022, the Government of Canada published the Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations. The Regulations prohibit the manufacture, import, sale and eventually export of 6 categories of single-use plastic (SUP) items.
