On January 25, 2024, the Government of Yukon introduced a new extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulation for packaging and paper products.
On February 1, 2025, the Government of Yukon approved Circular Materials’ Stewardship Plan for Packaging, Paper and Single-Use Products, with a program start date of November 1, 2025.
This change marks a significant shift in how recycling programs will be managed, placing more responsibility on producers to ensure effective recycling processes.
To support ongoing collaboration with municipalities, we have established a Municipal Working Group as a forum to share feedback, raise questions and directly engage with our team.
You only need to register once to attend all the Municipal Working Group meetings. Once registered, you will be sent a confirmation email from Zoom and can add all the meeting dates to your calendar.
