Between Monday, February 12 to Wednesday, March 27, 2024, RPRA held a consultation seeking feedback from stakeholders on how to use any funds collected through administrative penalties.
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.
During the consultation, RPRA gathered stakeholder feedback on the proposed use of these funds. Read the proposal that was consulted on during this period.
For information on how penalties are assessed and issued under the RRCEA, see RPRA’s Administrative Penalty Guideline.

RPRA hosted a webinar on Tuesday, March 5, 2024 to present the proposal, answer questions, and gather feedback from stakeholders. Materials from the webinar are available on this webpage.
Stakeholders were also invited to submit feedback by email during the consultation period.
RPRA will consider all feedback received during the consultation period. All feedback will be summarized in a consultation report and posted to this webpage.
