Circular Materials and Health Products Stewardship Association Collaborate to Advance Innovation and Recycling Efforts 

Circular Materials and the Health Products Stewardship Association (HPSA) are excited to announce a strategic collaboration focused on advancing common goals and sharing best practices for recycling education and material management in Ontario and New Brunswick to enhance public awareness and support recycling.

This collaboration will promote recycling practices and educate residents about the proper management and recycling of materials specific to each organization’s mandate. For Circular Materials, this includes packaging and paper materials, and for HSPA, it encompasses health products such as medications and medical sharps. This collaboration will also identify opportunities to align member management and communication strategies to support a streamlined approach to helping producers fulfil their producer responsibility obligations.

“We look forward to collaborating with HPSA and leveraging our collective expertise in recycling and material management. This is very much aligned with our commitment to advancing circular solutions and collaborating with like-minded organizations to deliver best practices,” said Allen Langdon, CEO of Circular Materials. “By working together, we will not only support each other’s efforts to educate residents but also support producers and improve recycling outcomes for the materials we each handle in these regions.”

“We are delighted to collaborate with Circular Materials to advance our shared goals of environmental stewardship and producer responsibility,” said Terri Drover, President & CEO of HPSA. “This collaboration will allow us to enhance the effectiveness of our programs, support our members and provide valuable information to the public – ultimately contributing to a safer and more sustainable environment in our regions.”

Both organizations are committed to making a tangible impact by fostering a culture of sustainability and environmental responsibility. By working together, Circular Materials and HPSA will drive meaningful improvements that result in more material being better managed and recycled, ensuring a more sustainable future for generations to come.
