Companies who supply tires, Blue Box materials, hazardous or special products (e.g., paint, automotive materials), batteries, lighting, or electronics in Ontario are obligated under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act, 2016 (RRCEA) to recycle or reuse their products and packaging when consumers are finished with them.
Companies must report to RPRA every year the amount of material they supply into the Ontario market, and their performance meeting the recycling and reuse targets set out in the regulations issued under the RRCEA.
RPRA reports the following annually:
- Supply: The amount of materials supplied into the Ontario market.
- Resource recovery requirement: The amount of materials producers are required to collect and recycle or reuse.
- Recovery requirement reduction: The amount a producer’s resource recovery requirements can be reduced based on the criteria outlined in the regulations.
Published reports do not contain commercially sensitive information.
