National Integration for Blue Box in Canada

We are pleased to provide an update on our progress on national integration for the Blue Box in Canada.

As a follow up to our update and producer webinars hosted in 2023, to support the ongoing transition to extended producer responsibility in Canada and manage impacts, Circular Materials, Multi-Material Stewardship Manitoba, Multi-Material Stewardship Western and Recycle BC have been working together to develop an optimal business model for delivering a harmonized, national approach to EPR in Canada.

This has included the development of a nationally integrated approach and roadmap that identifies activities the respective organizations will collaborate on to mitigate cost increases and achieve the productivity gains that can come from national integration and local/regional management.

To ensure we continue to meet our producers’ needs, we invited producers to engagement sessions on January 24 and 29, 2024. The purpose of these sessions was to share our progress and capture feedback and questions to ensure continued alignment with producers’ goals and objectives prior to implementation.

To support a comprehensive feedback process, we accepted feedback at the sessions mentioned above, as well as written comments submitted until March 2024 to nationalintegration@circularmaterials.ca.

We look forward to continuing to collaborate with you and leveraging the strengths, capabilities, and investments we have built over the years across producer responsibility organizations to deliver value through national integration.

Thank you for your participation, support, and feedback.
