Proposed Changes To Ontario's Recycling Regime (Part 2): Amendments To The Blue Box Regulation

In Part 2 of our three-part series on proposed changes to Ontario's extended producer responsibility ("EPR") regimes, we provide an overview of the recently proposed amendments to the Blue Box regulation (the "Regulation") under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act (the "Act") and its impacts on producers and Producer Responsibility Organizations ("PROs") involved in Ontario's Blue Box program. These proposed amendments to the Regulation come at the same time as proposed amendments to the Act (read more in Part 1) and draft guidance published by the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority ("RPRA") relating to Ontario's collection system requirements and minimum management requirements (read more in Part 3).
