Item No. 8 – Single-Use Plastic and Other Items Bylaw and Implementation Plans

 

 

Richard Synnott, representing Layfield Plastics, was not in favour of the proposed bylaw and suggested that the City examine all factors when considering restrictions in the distribution of single-use plastic products. He added that new technologies are improving the use and recapture of plastics and that potential alternatives, such as paper products, may not provide a significant marginal environmental benefit compared to plastic products.

 

 

Item No. 8 – Single-Use Plastic and Other Items Bylaw and Implementation Plans

 

 

Craig Foster, representing the Canadian Plastics Industry Association, spoke against the proposed bylaw, noting that plastic recycling participation rates in BC is high and that the proposed restrictions will negatively impact local businesses. He added that recapturing systems can be improved and that plastic substitutes may negatively impact the environment and generate a larger carbon footprint compared to plastic products.

 

 

Item No. 8 – Single-Use Plastic and Other Items Bylaw and Implementation Plans

 

 

Rick Everest, Sustainability Director for CKF Inc., spoke in opposition to the proposed bylaw, and expressed that alternative plastic products have a larger carbon footprint compared to plastic products and that recycling systems can be improved to recapture plastics. He added that a proposed restriction would negatively impact local businesses.

 

 

Item No. 19 – Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project

 

 

Lorraine Bell, Richmond resident, was in opposition to the proposed project, and expressed concern with regard to the potential damage to the Fraser River ecosystem and negative impact to climate change. She encouraged that the City take additional action to oppose the proposed project.

 

 

Item No. 19 – Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project

 

 

Eyvonne Bell, Richmond resident, spoke against the proposed project, noting that a fuel facility would increase tanker traffic and negatively impact the Fraser River. She added that the proposed agreement is insufficient and encouraged that the City take action to halt the proposed project.

 

 

Item No. 19 – Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project

 

 

Nancy Trant, Richmond resident, was opposed to the proposed project and expressed that such a pipeline and fuel facility can cause environmental damage to the Fraser River and contribute to climate change.
