Comment
Current situation:
• Ontario taxpayers pay an "eco" fee for the Producer to responsibly dispose of their tires
• Culled and scrap tires are being exported out of the province for profit through unknown disposal methods that cannot be regulated or verified by Ontarians
• O.Reg. 225/18 and RPRA's jurisdiction ends at the Ontario border
Proposed changes to the Tires Regulation
We are proposing the following amendments to the Tires Regulation to keep Ontario's taxpayer dollars in the province, resulting in a true circular economy:
• Define "new tire" "culled tire" and "scrap tire" and use this terminology in the regulation; "new tires" are used to establish the Producer recovery requirements
• Only "culled tires" sold in Ontario and "scrap tires" that are processed at facilities in Ontario will count towards meeting Producer recovery requirements
Regarding the Existing Proposed changes to the Tires Regulation
• Is there data and reasoning to support adjustment of the current collection target calculation method? Is this calculation method significantly different from other jurisdictions?
