RPRA will not require processors to submit a recycling efficiency rate verification report in 2024
RPRA will not require processors of batteries, information technology, telecommunications and audio-visual (ITT/AV) equipment, lighting, or hazardous and special products (HSP) to submit a Recycling Efficiency Rate (RER) verification report in 2024.
However, processors are still required to submit their annual performance report in the spring of 2024. Processors will be notified when the registry opens for reporting.
Why did RPRA decide processors do not have to report on RER in 2024?
The decision to not require an RER report in 2024 is a result of feedback received during our consultation on the development of RER Calculation and Verification Procedures for batteries, ITT/AV, lighting, and HSP.
Consultation participants provided valuable feedback that RPRA staff and Dillon require additional time to incorporate into the draft procedures. Participants also advised that they require more time than initially considered to adapt their operational processes to comply with the requirements of the proposed procedures.
RPRA is currently revising the draft procedures to incorporate the feedback received and will post second drafts in early 2024 for further consultation. Consultation participants will be notified once the updated drafts are posted.
When will processors be required to submit their first RER report to RPRA?
Processors will be required to submit an RER report in 2025, in accordance with the finalized procedures.
