Indigenous-led Efforts Bolster EPR Collection in Remote Parts of Canada

A new partnership between the Stewardship Agencies of BC and the Indigenous Zero Waste Technical Advisory Group helps improve recycling programs and training.

Thanks to a new partnership agreement, IZWTAG will formally administer the First Nations Recycling Initiative. It’s an outreach and recycling program run by BC’s Stewardship Agencies of BC, a coalition of EPR organizations. The initiative raises awareness of BC’s EPR programs and supports local collection and recycling events for EPR-eligible items like electronics, large appliances and household hazardous waste.
