Despite Canada’s municipal recycling programs and the best intentions of its environmentally conscious citizens, plastic waste continues to be a serious issue both at home and internationally. News coverage in recent years has revealed how much waste has been shipped abroad, especially to Southeast Asia, where it continues to cause widespread pollution and threaten human health. In January 2021, Canada agreed to amendments to the Basel Convention which made it nearly impossible to ship plastic waste overseas. The United States, though a signatory to this convention, has not ratified it, and the plastic waste trade between Canada and the US lacks the regulations required to prevent the US from acting as a loophole for Canadian exporters. This chapter discusses plastic regulations in Canada and the policy gaps that exist between its commitments on plastic waste and the impacts of its waste exports.
