RRS was asked to research several outstanding questions that were generated by the Recycling Steering Committee (RSC) during the framework and scenario review and evaluation process. This is the third in a series of memos that responds to the RSC’s questions. In this memo, RRS presents the results of original research that compares the prices for consumer goods in jurisdictions with and without extended producer responsibility for packaging and printed paper (EPR for PPP) policy in place to determine if the presence of the policy correlates to higher prices paid by consumers. To address this question, the RRS team performed a virtual shopping study that compared the price of a range of products in Canadian provinces with and without EPR for PPP policies. The research did not find a clear correlation between product price and the presence of EPR for PPP policies.
