Kelleher Environmental, in association with Love Environment, were commissioned by RPWCO to research and prepare this report with two objectives: * Research EPR program models for printed paper and packaging in other jurisdictions (Europe, Canada), and * Identify lessons learned which are applicable to Ontario municipalities. Municipalities and EPR programs in Ontario may be operating under the Waste Diversion Act for several more years, given that Bill 91 (the Waste Reduction Act) did not move forward before the Ontario Provincial election was announced in May, 2014. There is strong interest on all sides to explore options for more sustainable stewardship programs that are acceptable to all parties involved. Solutions need to be found to address current Blue Box issues in particular. The research in this report provides some background on alternative models under which municipalities and producers could operate in Ontario.
