Comment
The Ontario Waste Management Association (OWMA) strongly supports the proposal to change the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority’s mandate to include digital reporting services through its registry for a wider range of waste and resource recovery programs.
We believe that changing the mandate of the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) will benefit the regulated community and create a more efficient and effective framework for data collection, digital reporting, fee setting and cost recovery across the broad range of waste management and resource recovery activities.
Leveraging the expertise, knowledge and existing assets of the Authority makes good business sense. OWMA also supports this proposal as a pre-cursor to moving forward under RPRA with essential and critical service improvements to the Hazardous Waste Program.
Expanding RPRA's role to include digital reporting services, fee setting, and cost recovery for other programs beyond producer responsibility are fundamental to supporting its oversight and compliance enforcement functions, as legislated under the Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act.
