Producer obligation in Ontario

Under the Blue Box Regulation, companies that supply designated packaging, paper products and packaging-like products to Ontario consumers are required to collect and manage these materials to achieve recycling performance targets.

• If your company supplies packaging to consumers in Ontario and is the brand holder resident in Canada, your company is the producer as the brand holder.
• If your company is resident in Ontario and imports packaging for which there is no brand holder resident in Canada, your company is the producer as the importer.
• If neither of these two situations applies, the producer is the retailer.
