Grants and Contributions
About this information
In June 2016, as part of the Open Government Action Plan, the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat (TBS) committed to increasing the transparency and usefulness of grants and contribution data and subsequently launched the Guidelines on the Reporting of Grants and Contributions Awards, effective April 1, 2018.
The rules and principles governing government grants and contributions are outlined in the Treasury Board Policy on Transfer Payments. Transfer payments are transfers of money, goods, services or assets made from an appropriation to individuals, organizations or other levels of government, without the federal government directly receiving goods or services in return, but which may require the recipient to provide a report or other information subsequent to receiving payment. These expenditures are reported in the Public Accounts of Canada. The major types of transfer payments are grants, contributions and \'other transfer payments\'.
Included in this category, but not to be reported under proactive disclosure of awards, are (1) transfers to other levels of government such as Equalization payments as well as Canada Health and Social Transfer payments. (2) Grants and contributions reallocated or otherwise redistributed by the recipient to third parties; and (3) information that would normally be withheld under the Access to Information Act and the Privacy Act.

Global Plastic Action Partnership
7419287 P006755001
The project aims to contribute to the diversion of plastic pollution in rivers, deltas and oceans at global and national levels using a circular economy approach (a regenerative approach to production and consumption, in which products and materials are redesigned, recovered and reused to reduce environmental impacts).
The Global Plastic Action Partnership (GPAP) seeks to reduce the growth in global plastic leakage around the world by developing country-level strategies to reduce waste across the plastics life cycle. On a global level, GPAP provides a platform and convening mechanism for the emerging range of initiatives seeking to tackle plastics pollution. At the national level, GPAP works collaboratively with governments, businesses, civil society and other key stakeholders in several countries to: (1) bring together public and private leaders; (2) develop national action and investment plans to address plastic waste in the economy; and (3) align investors to advance action in support of these plans.
Project activities include: (1) organizing alignment workshops with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and academia working on metrics and standards for measuring plastics waste pollution; (2) conducting GPAP engagement activities to inform public and private sector financing mechanisms on plastic initiatives in target countries; and (3) organizing outreach events to ensure that plastics-related policies receive the endorsement of government agencies and NGOs focused on women’s issues in target countries.
The project aims to benefit Indonesia, Ghana and Vietnam through the development of national plans to combat plastic waste, with the opportunity for greater engagement regionally in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), Africa and among small islands states in the Pacific and the Caribbean.

Advanced Plastic Recyling Process Development
927860
To develop processes to clean used LLDPE frac pond liners and HDPE pipe used in the Canadian oil business using a waterless wash system after the plastic is collected and compacted. Cleaning the collected plastic is the major hurdle to be overcome in order to successfully recycle oilfield plastic. The majority of oilfield used plastic is deposited into landfill. Waterless wash for cleaning oilfield plastic is currently unavailable in Canada.
