Circular Materials, Ontario’s Transition to producer responsibility.

In 2021, the Ontario government released the Blue Box
Regulation that shifts the financial and operational responsibility
of recycling programs to producers – those that produce and
supply blue box materials to residents. In this new extended
producer responsibility framework, producers become
financially and operationally responsible for collecting and
recycling blue box materials.

Visit Circular Materials here.
