CANADA PROPOSES PLAS- TICS REGISTRY Environment and Climate Change
Canada is seeking implemen- tation comments for proposed Plastics Registry and Labeling initiatives. OPEI respects the Gov- ernment of Canada’s objective to reduce plastics ending up in the environment as plastics management is an ongoing topic amongst the recycling community. However, as filed in joint coalition comments, the introduc- tion of a plastics specific registry would only conflict with the principles of wholegood Extended Producer Responsibilities (EPR) by establishing an unnecessary registry that would du- plicate current EPR obligations and potentially add more cost to consumer products. OPEI Canada continues to advocate for harmonized EPR product models rather than individual components. OPEIC: BC STEWARDSHIP ACTIVITIES The OPEIC program stewardship renewal plan will be submit- ted in alignment with its service provider, CESA, whose sub- mission is scheduled for spring of 2023. Obligated stakeholder consultations will be conducted as early as February 2023 to best determine how to improve collection of electric outdoor power equipment at its end-of-life. CALIFORNIA ENACTS BATTERY RECYCLING MAN- DATES FOR OEMS California recently enacted battery recycling legislation. Be- ginning no later than April 1, 2027, producers of most batteries, including OPE Li-ion portable rechargeable batteries, will be required to be included in a state stewardship program (e.g., Call2Recycle) to recycle their batteries.
