Under the new extended producer responsibility (EPR) recycling system, producers\u2014businesses that supply packaging and paper\u2014are financially responsible and accountable for those materials over their full life cycle. This policy approach is recognized as one of the most effective ways to improve recycling rates and advance a circular economy where materials are collected, recycled and looped back into the system to be used again and again.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

Planned to be operational in early 2027 near the Burnside Industrial Park (Halifax Regional Municipality), the facility will feature the newest generation of mechanical sorting technologies, including near-infrared (NIR) optical sorters and advanced imaging systems designed and manufactured by industry experts, CP Group. This leading-edge equipment will increase recovery, improve material quality and ensure more packaging and paper products are recycled and looped back into the economy. <\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a significant milestone for recycling in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia,\u201d said <\/span>Allen Langdon, CEO, Circular Materials<\/span><\/b>. \u201cBy modernizing post-collection infrastructure, we are strengthening system resilience, supporting innovation and improving recycling outcomes for residents, producers and the environment.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n
