Provincial laws require EPR for e-products
Nine provinces currently require Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for e-products
Provinces generally target e-products using EPR in phases:
-
Displays; computers; printers
Home, vehicle & portable A/V equipment; selected telecom
Photocopiers, media, gaming devices, medical, servers, peripherals, etc.
Harmonization is promoted through CCME & industry efforts
Industry generally develops & implements product stewardship plans
Programs are ultimately funded by consumers through eco-fees applied at the point of retail
•
Eco-fees are intended to recover costs & range by product & jurisdiction
-
Portable video players (e.g. $0.40 - $0.45)
-
Floor printers (e.g. $173.75)
•
Desktop computers (e.g. $1.60 - $15.00)
Annual performance is reported publicly & financials undergo independent third-party audit review
