Boucherville, Quebec, December 11, 2012 – The Honourable Denis Lebel, Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and Minister of the Economic Development Agency of Canada for the Regions of Quebec, announces that the Federation of Plastics and Alliances Composites (FEPAC) has been granted financial assistance to help it continue maintaining and improving the competitiveness of Quebec plastics processors.
"By supporting innovative organizations like the Federation of Plastics and Alliances Composites, the Government of Canada is encouraging the commercialization of new products, stimulating sustainable economic growth and fostering the creation of quality jobs,"
said Minister Lebel.
This contribution will allow FEPAC to carry out a promising three-pronged project: recruit small and medium-sized enterprises to develop an action plan and strategies for sustainable development; implement the plan and strategies mapped out; and, lastly, assess the actions taken. Optimizing their capabilities will encourage plastics industry SMEs to improve their performance and their compliance with the new requirements for eco-friendly production.
This $200,000 in non-repayable funding has been granted through Canada Economic Development’s Quebec Economic Development Program.
