Who is the focus of this consultation
The Government of Canada is seeking comments from:
- vinyl industry
- Indigenous groups
- non-governmental organizations
- general public
- other interested persons
The proposed environmental performance agreement would be developed in collaboration with the Vinyl Institute of Canada and companies with facilities using tin stabilizers in Canada.
Key documents for discussion
It is proposed that the renewed Agreement would be similar to the 2020 Agreement and would be in place for a period of 5 years.
To date, facilities subject to the 2020 Agreement are meeting the objective of preventing the release of tin stabilizers into the environment by fully implementing the practices outlined in the Guideline for the Environmental Management of Tin Stabilizers in Canada.
This proposed renewal will ensure the continued implementation of effective stewardship practices by all vinyl compounding facilities using tin stabilizers in Canada. The key documents for discussion are the following:
- 2020 to 2025 Environmental Performance Agreement Respecting the Use of Tin Stabilizers in the Vinyl Industry
- Guideline for the Environmental Management of Tin Stabilizers in Canada
