  Toggle the submenu Are containers that are obligated under the Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) Regulation obligated as Blue Box materials?

  No, products or packaging designated as Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) are not obligated under the Blue Box Regulation. For example, primary packaging for paints and coatings are HSP and therefore not obligated as Blue Box materials.

  Some packaging for HSP products may still be obligated. For example, the packaging that contains an oil filter is obligated as Blue Box materials.

  Consult the HSP Regulation or the Compliance and Registry Team for further information.
