Solving Ontario's Landfill

Collaborating for Sustainable and Best-in-Class EPR Programs for all Ontarians
Working with service providers, Ontario has the opportunity to build sustainable and best-in-class EPR programs.
Unlocking the Industry by Working for Workers & Business in Ontario
Workers in the waste management and recycling sectors provide an essential service to every community in Ontario, but they do not receive the same support as their counterparts in the skilled trades.
Continuing Red Tape Reduction to Ensure Ontario Remains Open for Business

Maximizing Resource and Energy Recovery to Strengthen Ontario's Economy
More than three quarters of Ontarians agree that the government should invest in technologies that could turn waste into energy according to polling. One of the many examples of energy from waste successes is the renewable natural gas that is used to power truck fleets, which help power our economy.
