The industry's trade association, the Retail Council of Canada, said the new policy "unfortunately" targets large grocers exclusively.

"Which is impractical, as Canadian retailers lack direct control and influence over the global supply chain," said Michelle Wasylyshen, the council's national spokesperson.

Are people mad about this?

I rather my egg cartons come in recyclable cardboard than the weird ass plastic thing. Milk used to come in glass bottles. Peanut butter and jam too. Theres absolutely no fucking reason to put bananas in a plastic Ziploc bag.

Y'all want more microplastics?

Milk used to come in glass bottles

I don't want more glass (deposit and all) unless they go back to milkmen delivering it and taking away the empties. And even then, that wouldn't work because of the delivery costs.

I have so much glass I have to take to the recycling depot and it's not worth your time and gasoline to do it.
