FREE Webinar: What does a packaging EPR system mean for local governments?

In contrast to the U.S., many Canadian provinces --including British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec -- have implemented extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs for packaging. Join us for an interactive, discussion-based webinar to work through U.S. local government concerns and questions about transforming the current U.S. packaging recycling system to an EPR system.

Experienced Canadian local government speakers will answer such questions as:
•    What concerns did local governments in Canada have prior to the transition to EPR, and what can we learn from that experience?
•    How does the EPR program in your province interact with municipalities?
•    What is the impact on waste hauling and recycling businesses that were in the market prior to the implementation of the program? 
•    Was existing infrastructure for collection and processing integrated (or not) into your province's new EPR program?
•    What are the participation rates in your programs? How do you encourage public participation?
•    What were the main challenges in transitioning from a publically funded recycling program to EPR? How were they resolved/addressed?
