Committing to our planet’s future means properly recycling our electronics of the past.
Did You Know?
The EPRA keeps 100,000 metric tonnes of old electronics out of landfills each year. That`s roughly equivalent to 20,000 elephants.
What is a steward?
All manufacturers, retailers, distributors and other suppliers of regulated electronic products in, or into, any one of the provinces in Canada with provincial extended producer responsibility regulations are required to be active in an approved product stewardship plan. Provinces with electronic products stewardship regulations currently include: British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador.
Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is a not-for-profit organization managing government-approved programs that are established by manufacturers, retailers and other stakeholders to collect and responsibly recycle end-of-life electronics. EPRA is fulfilling this role on behalf of obligated stewards in eight provinces. Businesses selling regulated electronic products in these provinces can meet their compliance obligation by participating in the EPRA Program.
