Overview
Despite the disruption caused by the global pandemic, many Canadian provinces are moving forward with new or “next-gen” EPR initiatives. And in true Canadian fashion, each province is taking a different path.
We are delighted to announce that the Canadian Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) has convened a blue-ribbon panel of EPR proponents from three of our most active provinces.
Join us on April 27 for an engaging, interactive webinar with EPR leaders from Ontario’s Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority, Éco Entreprises Québec and Alberta Environment and Parks.
Key Takeaways
- One size doesn’t necessarily fit all – three approaches to EPR advancement in Canada
- A better understanding of potential regulatory obligations
- How you can expect to deal with the stewardship agencies in each province
- What are the implications for your business – costs, reporting requirements, material management, etc.
- What are the timelines in each jurisdiction?
- Is there still time to influence these policy directions?
Who Should Attend?
Previous participants in the biennial Conference on Canadian Stewardship including:
- Stewards, brand owners and other obligated parties as defined in regulations
- Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO) directors, senior managers and staff
- Trade association leaders
- Waste management program operators, service providers and suppliers
- Material transporters and processors
- Federal, provincial and municipal government staff
- Consultants, analysts, service providers and anyone else interested in EPR
Because of the pandemic, CPSC’s biennial Canadian Stewardship Conference has been rescheduled to 2022. Nevertheless, EPR in Canada continues to evolve. So, while we’re waiting, we’re pleased to offer this forum – the first of two EPR webinars we’ve planned for 2021 — to keep you plugged into the latest developments in EPR.
