RPRA Consultation on Blue Box Program Wind-up and Transition to IPR now underway

The Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA) has begun consultations on Stewardship Ontario's (SO) proposed plan to wind-up the Blue Box Program and transition it to the new Individual Producer Responsibility (IPR) framework. 

Consultation Webinars

During the week of October 13 to 16, RPRA is hosting five consultation webinars, each focused on a key element of the wind-up plan and process. 

• Session 1: Consultation, program and transition overview
• Session 2: Supporting competition while maintain data security
• Session 3: Maintaining program performance and municipal funding
• Session  4: Financials and steward operations
• Session 5: Winding up the CIF

Small Group Discussions

In the following week, October 19 to 23, RPRA will be hosting four smaller group discussions. This is an opportunity to engage in a more open discussion about the proposed wind-up plan with a smaller, stakeholder-specific group:

• Stewards
• Municipalities, waste management industry
• First Nation communities, northern/rural communities
• NGOs and the general public

Feedback on SO's proposed Wind-up Plan is due by 5 p.m. on Monday, November 10th.
