Transition to Producer Responsibility
Understanding Ontario’s Blue Box Regulation
As of July 1, 2023, when municipalities and First Nation communities in Ontario start transitioning their Blue Box programs to collection under the Blue Box Regulation, Blue Box producers will become fully accountable and financially responsible for collecting and recycling their materials when consumers discard them. Blue Box materials include: product packaging, paper products or packaging-like products. If you are a Canadian manufacturer whose products are supplied to consumers in Ontario, you should attend this session to find out how the new regulations apply to you and what your obligations are.
Agenda:
- Brief intro to RPRA (Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority) and our role as a regulator in the province of Ontario, and the regulations and reporting programs we are responsible for.
- Focus on Blue Box producer obligations.
- Who is a Blue Box Producer?
- Registration and reporting obligations.
- Collection, management and promotion & education obligations and working with producer responsibility organizations (PROs).
- Resources for Blue Box producers
About the Speaker: Sydney Baker is a Senior Compliance Officer and Blue Box Coordinator at the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA). In her role as Blue Box Coordinator, she works closely with the regulated community to ensure they understand the Blue Box Regulation in Ontario and what is required to meet their legal obligations under the regulation.
