Under #EPR, the responsibility for the end-of-life management of a product falls squarely on the shoulders of the producer who puts it on the market. This translates to a significant change for Ontario's #recycling landscape. So, does this mean Ontario businesses now have to pay for recycling? We'll break down everything you need to know in this helpful blog: https://lnkd.in/gsTA-eG9 #CircularEconomy

CIWM RESPONDS | UK Government's Simpler Recycling policy update We welcome the latest announcement from the UK Government on Simpler Recycling and are encouraged to see some progress on this important policy. The announcement that regulations are due to be laid before Parliament is promising, however the lack of clarity on the final statutory guidance does not provide local authorities and waste collectors with the certainty they urgently need to enable the mobilisation we have all been waiting for and that has been on hold due to delays in Government. The Government’s stance on residual collection is very disappointing. Not only is this out of kilter with strong evidence that supports the role of residual restrictions in reducing costs and increasing recycling, but it also works against the Government’s own stated aims on waste prevention. The fact that 80% of respondents to the consultation disagree with the idea of a fortnightly residual cap shows the strength of feeling the sector has on this issue and the Government simply has not listened. It is likely that producers will also be frustrated by this needless imposition on effective recycling services and barrier to maximising the capture of packaging. We strongly urge the government to reverse this decision and allow local authorities to have the option of collecting residual waste on a three-weekly basis. Lee Marshall, Director of Innovation and Technical Services, said: “Any progress on Simpler Recycling is welcome, and so another step forward is important. We hope that the relevant statutory instrument gets the Parliamentary time it needs so we can maintain momentum. Ideally, though, we need the detail of the statutory guidance for local authorities to have the clarity they require to help them in planning and implementing the changes that are needed. Clarification on what materials can be collected together is good and gives local authorities the freedom to choose the most appropriate and effective collection systems for their areas. The stance on restricting options of residual frequency is, however, baffling given the overwhelming evidence that exists about how restricting residual reduces costs and increases recycling. That is a point of contention and a missed opportunity to give local authorities a real behaviour change tool that is shown to increase recycling levels.” Read our full perspective here: https://lnkd.in/eN229fhp

Here at TDS, we use a single-stream recycling process. Single-stream recycling is a system in which all recyclables are mixed together during disposal. A collection truck collects the recyclable materials together and takes the items to our Materials Recovery Facility (MRF), where they are then sorted. For more information on our process and how our recycling facility operates, check out our blog on "What Is Single-Stream Recycling?" here: https://lnkd.in/eZF3Ji7

"The Re-X Before Recycling Prize will award up to $5.6 million in federal funding and technical assistance from U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratories. The prize is designed to stimulate innovation and private investment in circular economy approaches that can transform waste streams into diverse, integrated circular supply networks and contribute to a robust, environmentally sustainable economy. The prize is seeking innovations to unlock new or expanded supply chains that can reintegrate end-of-use products into the economy via re-use, repair, refurbishment, remanufacturing, and/or repurposing (“Re-X”) before recycling." https://lnkd.in/gCUK3R4H

🌍 Simpler recycling is on the horizon! The UK's recycling system is set for a shake-up, with paper and cardboard soon to be collected separately under new rules. This change aims to improve recycling quality and reduce contamination, making a big step toward a greener future.

Repak Members Surpass packaging recycling targets, well above the EU targets set for 2025 and 2030. As we move closer to the 2025 targets, Ireland as a collective needs to focus on proper segregation and innovative recycling practices to ensure we recycle properly and recycle more. This can be done with continued collaboration and innovation in waste management practices. While not forgetting to recycle Clean, Dry and Loose both in your business and at home. https://lnkd.in/eBif2eQH
