Producer responsibility for Ontario’s waste diversion programs I just finished reading - again - the Made-in-Ontario Environmental Plan, which commits to moving Ontario’s existing waste diversion programs to a producer responsibility model. This means producers (the companies that design, create and market products and packaging) will be responsible for managing and paying for the entire life cycle of their products to make recycling more manageable and accessible across the province. This approach is the most effective way to: 1. promote waste diversion 2. align costs of managing products and packaging at their end-of-life 3. save taxpayers money 4. give producers incentives to redesign products and make them easier to recycle Ontario’s existing waste diversion programs are transitioning to a producer responsibility model. To ensure a seamless transition, regulations that make producers fully responsible for the materials managed under these programs will come into effect the same day each of the current programs end. #ProducerResponsibility #WasteDiversion #EnvironmentalPlan #LifeCycle #endoflife #waste #wastetolandfil #WasteReduction #Ontario #WasteManagement #blueBoxProgram #wastecollection
