Presentation Title:
Extended Producer Responsibility: Materials and Program Costs
Presentation Abstract:
This presentation provides an overview of EPR frameworks, beginning with the core principles of EPR and how programs are structured. It then examines how EPR is being implemented across Canada, with brief comparisons to approaches in the United States. The session will outline which materials and obligated parties are typically included under EPR programs, followed by a discussion of how packaging costs vary by material type. The presentation concludes with an overview of program costs, performance goals, and the implications for producers, regulators, and project stakeholders navigating evolving compliance requirements.
