The Canadian forest products industry is pledging to help Canada move to a low-carbon economy by removing 30 megatonnes (MT) of CO2 per year by 2030 — more than 13% of the Canadian government’s emissions target.
The “30 by 30” Climate Change Challenge was issued today by the Forest Products Association of Canada (FPAC), making the forest sector the first to voluntarily contribute to the federal government’s climate goals. Canada has signed the Paris agreement on climate change and is now promising to reduce emissions by 30%, the equivalent of cutting 225 MT of CO2 a year by 2030.
The forest sector has a solid record of reducing greenhouse gases from its manufacturing processes. Since 1990 for example, Canada’s pulp and paper industry has reduced GHG emissions by about 66%.
Despite being a common practice for decades, misconceptions about recycling – such as the belief that it mostly ends up in landfills, doesn’t make a difference, uses more energy than it saves, and is economically unviable – persist among consumers. To combat these myths, businesses can focus on education and clarity. They can simplify recycling processes by providing clear instructions, like those offered by the How2Recycle label, and using social media to raise awareness. Collaborations, like those between McKinsey and NielsenIQ, show that environmental claims on packaging can drive consumer interest. Sustana is a proud pioneer and leader in sustainability and circularity. We’re always looking to share our sustainable vision with our customers. We think the most effective time to educate and guide consumers on the best ways to recycle our sustainable fiber-based and paper products is all the time – not just when they’re about to discard a product and trying to remember how to recycle it.
