1. In regards to our Industrial customers, currently, only aerosol category is ecofeeable; will other sizes be included in new regulation? Also, in regards to a couple of our larger customers who are registered and recycling with HWIN. How does the new HSP program affect them? Originally, MHSW Ontario was not able to handle the larger quantities, therefore, they remained with HWIN.

2. Do empty paint cans/aerosols come under blue box program and under HSP program? If yes, we would be paying for materials twice.

2. Are the Eco fees or HSP fee going to be standard from PRO to producer? We, as the producer, would like definite direction whether or not the fee can be visible on purchase invoices / receipts, including to the end user (consumer). We, as a producer, believe that this can become an issue if the decision is left in “our” hands. Invoices / receipts may display different “eco fee” costs. This could impact our businesses in a negative way and could cause confusion when compared to competitors.

3. If we register with Product Care , All the other requirements Producer agreements, Management of products , Education of the program via Ads etc. ,reporting to RRCEA will this be take care by Product Care. When we register with RRCEA initially and provide 3-year data. What will be required, only the sales history, or any other information? Are we providing 3 years of data by quantity as we have done in past? If this is required in weight, that would not be possible with our current system. What about the data of our customers that report directly for POS sales? Do we have to pay annual registration fee to RRCEA? Do you know the tentative fees? What are these annual fees for?

Thank you.
