June 1st - the new Waste-Free Ontario Act was passed. To help divert more waste from landfill, the province has passed the Waste-Free Ontario Act that will: -encourage innovation in recycling processes and require producers to take full responsibility for their products and packaging - lower recycling costs and give consumers access to more convenient recycling options - help fight climate change by reducing greenhouse gas pollution that results from the landfilling of pro...ducts that could otherwise be recycled or composted - overhaul Waste Diversion Ontario into the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority, a strong oversight body with new compliance and enforcement powers that will oversee the new approach and existing waste diversion programs until transition is complete.
