Kimecopak and the F&B Community: Contributing Real-World Voices to Canada’s Single-Use Plastics Consultation

30 décembre 2025

The Government of Canada is currently seeking public input on proposed amendments to the Single-Use Plastics Prohibition Regulations, a key step in reducing the environmental impact of single-use plastics.

For the F&B industry and the packaging supply chain, these changes extend beyond policy. They affect daily operations, costs, customer experience, and how realistically businesses can transition to sustainable alternatives.

As part of this consultation, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) contacted Kimecopak directly by email to request industry input. We see this as an invitation to join a broader dialogue - one that values real-world market experience alongside policy goals.

An opportunity to connect policy and practice

Being contacted by ECCC underscores the importance of hearing from across the packaging supply chain. Kimecopak approaches this as a chance to help connect policy discussions with on-the-ground realities, rather than to promote a specific position.

Working daily with restaurants, cafés, bakeries, and multi-location F&B brands, we see how regulatory changes can affect businesses differently depending on their model, scale, and operational needs. Before drawing conclusions, we believe it is essential to listen to the community first.

Listening to the F&B community

Industry-level conversations are incomplete without input from businesses that use packaging every day. Through this outreach, Kimecopak aims to gather insights on:

Packaging formats that are difficult to replace
Alternatives that may not yet meet performance or cost expectations
Support needed to make sustainable transitions more achievable

These inputs are not about advocating a direction, but about building a balanced picture of how environmental objectives intersect with operational realities in foodservice.
