Across Canada, governments and non-governmental agencies continue to implement various innovative waste management programs to divert waste away from landfills. These programs involve many product categories, including tires, batteries, electronic products, packaging and printed paper, beverage containers, and hazardous and special products.

In our January 21, 2022 article, we provided a primer on product stewardship and extended producer responsibility ("EPR") programs, and a snapshot of key changes that occurred in 2021 and were expected to occur in 2022. This article is the second instalment in a bi-annual series that will provide updates on Canadian product stewardship and EPR programs.

Key changes can include: i) new programs in jurisdictions that formerly did not have programs, ii) expanded product lists for existing programs, iii) shifts from product stewardship models to EPR models, and iv) expanded regulatory enforcement mechanisms and activity.

We also note several general updates about Canadian waste management and diversion.

B. How have programs already changed in 2022, and what changes are expected in the rest of 2022 and beyond?

Waste diversion programs will continue to evolve and companies must ensure they understand their obligations to maintain compliance. Gowling WLG continues to monitor these programs closely and will publish further updates as information becomes available.
