While there has been a significant amount of focus on the plastic that ends up in our oceans, we also need to consider the amount of plastic pollution that's entering our freshwater. This session will explore the current challenges and potential opportunities associated with managing plastic pollution in Canada's freshwater. During the discussion, we will consider how plastics are currently regulated in Canada, what opportunities there are for improvement, the implications for municipalities, and what technology companies can do to support municipalities.
