RPRA finalizes Use of Administrative Penalty Revenues Policy

RPRA has finalized the Use of Administrative Penalty Revenues Policy.

Under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA) and the Administrative Penalties Regulation, RPRA has the power to impose monetary administrative penalties for certain contraventions under the RRCEA and its associated regulations as a tool for compliance. The regulation, however, does not specify how funds collected through administrative penalties are to be used.

Between Monday, February 12 to Wednesday, March 27, 2024, RPRA held a consultation seeking feedback from stakeholders on how to use revenues collected through administrative penalties. Information about the consultation, including the webinar recording and presentation slides, can be found on the consultation webpage.

All feedback received during the consultation is captured in the consultation report, which documents how RPRA considered the feedback and includes questions and answers received during the webinar. Read the consultation report.

RPRA thanks all consultation participants for their valuable input, which was carefully reviewed and considered before finalizing the policy.
