^

Compliance Gap Analysis

Canada has over 70 different provincial EPR programs. Their compliance gap experts will review all products you supply to the Canadian market to:

  • Identify which of your organization’s products are regulated in Canada
  • Validate if your organization is filing the appropriate reports

Failure to follow Canadian EPR laws can lead to legal penalties, fines and reputational harm.

^

Federal Plastic Registry Reporting

As regulatory frameworks for plastics evolve, compliance with the Federal Plastic Registry has become a key priority for producers. Their expertise ensures that businesses not only meet reporting obligations but also leverage compliance as a strategic advantage.

They support clients in navigating the complexities of Federal Plastics Registry reporting, helping them understand data requirements, optimize reporting accuracy, and align their sustainability goals with regulatory expectations. By leveraging their expertise in EPR program development and strategic implementation, they empower organizations to proactively manage Federal Plastic Registry (FPR) obligations.

PRO Selection

Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) compete for business across many Canadian jurisdictions. Companies face many choices when selecting a provider best suited to discharge their EPR obligations.

They advise and guide their clients on these often complex and challenging decisions and provide comprehensive findings to help them make the best decision. These findings can be summarized with different levels of detail, designed to be shared with various stakeholders within an organization.

CFCP & RSE

CFCP is looking forward to working with Reclay StewardEdge to help keep our members updated on EPR programs and environmental regulations. They will be able to provide their insights through the CFCP newsletter and specialty reports as well as through webinars/seminars we look to host for our members.

Reporting Services

Their reporting services help organizations complete product and packaging reports more efficiently and accurately. Based on their clients’ unique needs, this may include:

  • Packaging waste audits
  • Categorizing material consumption
  • Developing calculators customized to your business

Their team will review if your organization can reduce its obligation by excluding packaging that is not disposed of in the residential waste system. In conjunction, they provide an independent review of your existing stewardship reports, methodology and submission results to identify cost-saving opportunities for their clients.

Packaging Audits

Packaging reporting requires accurate weighing of components used to protect your products. Most companies do not have the ability or information to provide packaging weight for every product they supply to Canada. Their team of packaging auditors will:

  • Review your sales
  • Identify products
  • Weigh packages
  • Analyze your packaging mix

From there, they will derive a solid estimate for packaging that you can supply into the residential market.
