A guide to Canadian packaging EPR

In Canada, each province largely operates its own extended producer responsibility (EPR) framework for packaging, creating a patchwork of requirements, reporting obligations and fees.

For businesses placing packaged goods on the Canadian market, understanding these nuances is a crucial aspect of legal compliance and operational efficiency.

H2 Compliance’s team has published a comprehensive guide that breaks down key aspects of Canadian packaging EPR, clarifies obligations and outlines regional differences.

The guide looks at:

• Understanding EPR for packaging in Canada
• Who bears the responsibility and the definition of “Producer”
• The provincial landscape: navigating Canada’s EPR patchwork
• Navigating compliance: key steps for businesses
• The cost of non-compliance and the value of expert partnership, and
• The future landscape: the Federal Plastics Registry and the need for proactive compliance
