1 Introduction The Government of Yukon committed to develop an extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulation by 2025 in Our Clean Future: A Yukon strategy for climate change, energy and a green economy. The EPR regulation will enable a new framework for end-of-life management of materials in the territory. Nine out of ten provinces already have EPR regulatory frameworks and Alberta is currently working to establish one as well. The main goals for bringing EPR to the Yukon are to provide financial stability for recycling, increase amount of waste kept out of landfills, and help reach the waste diversion and greenhouse gas reduction targets under Our Clean Future. By their nature, EPR regulations are outcome based. They set specific outcomes for the producers to achieve with respect to the end-of-life management of their products andprovide rules on roles and responsibilities, program plan requirements, and reporting. The producers are then free to achieve the prescribed outcomes taking advantage ofthe flexibility and adaptability of the private sector. The evaluation of the producers’ performance against the targets is supported by robust data collection and reporting by the producers. The three priority categories to be managed under for EPR in the Yukon are: - printed paper and packaging (PPP), - household hazardous waste (HHW), and - automotive wastes such as waste oil and waste antifreeze and their containers. Key considerations and principles that shaped this proposal are: - The Yukon will establish an outcomes-based regulation that will leave room for private industry to determine how best to manage EPR programs; - All communities in a jurisdiction should have access to waste diversion services, but the level of services may differ; - The Yukon will make best efforts to harmonize regulations to BC to reduce administrative burden on the producers and improve environmental outcomes; - Small PPP retailers will be considered for exemption. Engagement process Government of Yukon wants to hear your input on the proposed regulatory framework. This discussion paper provides an overview of the elements of the proposed EPR regulation for comment and poses questions to gather feedback.
