1. How does the Authority ensure the data given from the Producers for verification is accurate and true?
2. What tool is the Authority using to verify the data? Is the tool reliable and proven - being used by other states, provinces, countries, etc?

The proposal is a good first step, but the roll out is too long. 2026 as the deadline for some of the key components? That's 5 years of plastic pollution build up. As well, the proposal lacks any mention of Styrofoam recycling and similar single use packaging.

If there are deposits on any recyclable items, there will be less garbage and more people will be recycling whether they like it or not. When it hits their pocket, they will recycle.
Is it possible to include a directive requiring bottled drink companies to tether the caps to the bottles? Wildlife (birds, turtles, etc.) see these caps as food - unfortunately, it kills them!

Hello,
As a lay person I am not up to date on all the science, but I would have hope to see higher % for plastics. Are those the best we can expect?

Why is the Province encouraging the recycling of single-use plastic items for which there is no market and which the Federal Government has just banned.

This is a good first step, but a 2026 deadline is way too long and we need to be more proactive. The world is not going to wait for you to sort out a bunch of meaningless consultations. We need action yesterday, so the next best time is today.

I would like to see recycling picked up each week. If you are hoping to increase the items we can recycle that is great but storing these items for 2 weeks is tough.
While I applaud the principle of extended producer responsibility and the standardization of blue blox programs across the province, there are a few changes I would like to see in the implementation of these changes:

We are a campground and currently pay to have our recycling picked up.I know that many people here do not recycle while camping.Because of the pandemic we did not try to sort out recycling form garbage bins this summer.I would like to see businesses included in this new proposal.
Love the idea, but how would you ensure companies like Amazon adhere to this? They don't "produce" most of their items; they merely ship them.

Please ensure to take comments from environmental groups to ensure changes to the recycling system contribute to a cleaner environment and does not create additional issues (such as companies disposing of “recyclables” in unsafe ways).

Incentive should be given to businesses that deposit return system such as carried out by The Beer Store. Circle K does a fine job with milk jug deposits and we once had a great system of bottle deposit for the soda pop industry. At one time Becker's had returnable, reusable milk jugs.
