The Federal Plastics Registry is now Compliance Infrastructure

Five days before Ottawa amended the Federal Plastics Registry reporting notice, I was presenting on an Alberta Agriculture panel on Sustainable Packaging in Canadian Agri-Food. I described Phase 2 as the next expansion of Canada’s federal plastics data layer. I told them the next phase would add resin manufacturers and importers, broaden the product categories, and pull in industrial and commercial waste data alongside the residential stream that Phase 1 already covers. I was working from the notice as it existed on March 9, 2026. On March 14, Environment and Climate Change Canada published an amended notice in the Canada Gazette that removed Phases 2 and 3 from the reporting notice, confirmed Phase 1 for 2024, and extended it through 2025 and 2026.
