Ecofees And Challenges for Companies
Environmental compliance and Extended Producer Responsibility programs present several challenges for companies in all sectors.
Are you in control of your ecofees?
Environmental Compliance Is More Complex Than It Seems.
Take for example, the food processing industry.
The production of containers and packaging is inseparable from the food industry. In addition to ensuring the protection of food products and simplifying transport and storage, they are essential commercial assets. Managing the associated ecofees can quickly become a complex and costly process.
Let's analyze a box of cookies:
As you can see, the packaging and recyclable materials of an agrifood product may be subject to ecofees in each province or country where it is sold.
In Canada, your organization must therefore declare to:
Province
Program
Agencies
Quebec
Régime de compensation pour la collecte sélective
Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ)
Ontario*
Blue Box
Resource Productivity & Recovery Authority (RPRA)
Manitoba, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and New Brunswick
Blue Box
Circular Materials (CM)
*The province of Ontario is in program transition from 2023-2025
Are You Over-Estimating Your Contributions?
To simplify processes, many businesses avoid revising their methodology for calculation and performing annual products analysis, include packaging into their calculations that has already been declared by their suppliers or declare products intended for sectors that are excluded. Unnecessarily increasing their contributions for the sake of speed.
RESULTS:
improvised calculations and thousands of dollars in overpayments.
No industry is immune to misreporting or over-contributions...
