An ITT/AV producer qualifies for an exemption if their average weight of supply for that calendar year is less than or equal to 5,000 kg.
Average supply weight is determined using the following formula:
Average weight of ITT/AV supply = (Y3 + Y4 + Y5) / 3
Eg. 2025 average weight of supply = (2022 + 2021 + 2020) / 3
ITT/AV producers that meet the exemption criteria are exempt from:
- Registering and reporting to RPRA
- Establishing a collection and management system
- Meeting a management requirement
- Promotion and education requirements
Producers must verify that they continue to meet the exemption annually, since their average weight of supply will change from year to year.
Exempt producers must keep records related to the weight of ITT/AV supplied into Ontario each year and provide them to the RPRA upon request.
Producers are advised to confirm their exemption with the Compliance Team at 833-600-0530 or registry@rpra.ca.

No, where a producer is exempt, the regulatory obligations do not become the responsibility of the organization that is next in the producer hierarchy. The exempt producer remains the “producer” for those materials; they are just exempt from certain requirements under the regulation as set out in the relevant provisions providing for the exemption. This is the case in all RRCEA regulations.

A producer’s individual management requirements are determined by formulas found in section 14 of the Regulation, summarized in the table below:
Performance Year Supply Report Year Formula 2025 2024 (2020 supply + 2021 supply + 2022 supply) / 3×65%* 2026 2025 (2021 supply + 2022 supply + 2023 supply) / 3×65% 2027 2026 (2022 supply + 2023 supply + 2024 supply) / 3×65% 2028 2027 (2023 supply + 2024 supply + 2025 supply) / 3×65% 2029 2028 (2024 supply + 2025 supply + 2026 supply) / 3×65% 2030 2029 (2025 supply + 2026 supply + 2027 supply) / 3×70% *For reports submitted in 2024, producers should use RPRA’s manual calculator
It is important to note that producers must ensure that all ITT/AV collected is managed regardless of what their minimum management requirement is.
Note: Producers with a management requirement below a certain threshold may be exempt from registering with and reporting to RPRA. See our FAQ ‘How do I determine if I am an exempt ITT/AV producer?’ to learn more.

The Manage PRO option will appear on the dashboard below your list of supply data reports when your supply data reporting is complete and if you have management requirements. If your supply data reporting is below the supply exemption threshold you will not have management requirements, and therefore not need to assign a PRO to assist with your obligations.
Also note that Account Admin are the only portal users that can manage your PRO’s responsibility, so this widget is not viewable to primary and secondary users.
