Highlights include: EPR Transition in Canada Usman Valiante from Corporate Policy Group highlighted the Canadian perspective when he said "Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs in Canada are in transition." Currently, the EPR programs are transitioning from producers only paying for municipal recycling services to gaining operational control of the recycling systems for residents. Valiante is optimistic that this transition is creating opportunities for harmonization between residents and provinces in Canada and leading to large-scale investments in advanced sorting technology across the country. While this transition for Canada has challenges ahead, Valiante is confident the technical and political expertise of the country will support changes for the better.
