EPR

Registered producers and producer responsibility organizations (PROs) support Alberta’s extended producer responsibility (EPR) system, which shifts the cost of recycling materials like single-use products, packaging and paper products (PPP), and hazardous and special products (HSP) away from our municipalities and taxpayers to the producers and manufacturers who supply those products into the marketplace.

On this page, you’ll find information about registered EPR producers and registered PROs and how to register with ARMA.

Producers supplying designated PPP/HSP materials into Alberta were required to register before March 1, 2024, to ensure compliance with the Regulation.
