Today, the Circular Plastics Taskforce (CPT) announced the expansion of its membership with the addition of Circular Materials. 

Launched in 2020, the CPT is a one-of-a-kind initiative dedicated to finding concrete solutions for improving post-consumer plastics management. It brings together four major food, beverage, and packaging companies in Canada—Cascades, Danone Canada, Keurig Dr Pepper Canada and ProAmpac—with the Chemistry Industry Association of Canada,  Éco Entreprises Québec and Recycle BC.  

“Circular Materials is excited to join the CPT Board of Directors and work closely with business and industry leaders to collaborate, share best practices and drive innovation,” said Allen Langdon, CEO, Circular Materials. 

The addition of Circular Materials underscores the CPT’s commitment to supporting the advancement of extended producer responsibility (EPR) and the implementation of efficient recycling systems across Canada. This collaboration aims to enhance post-consumer plastic packaging recycling and advance the circular economy. 

“Working together, we will undertake key research and initiatives to help solve important challenges and drive collective impact,” added Langdon.
