Your recycling program

Circular Materials, Ryse Solutions, H2 Compliance and EnvironFocus Incorporated are the producer responsibility organizations that are operating Ontario’s new common collection system.

In June 2021, the Province of Ontario released the Blue Box Regulation to shift the financial and operational responsibility of recycling from municipalities to the organizations that produce packaging, paper and packaging–like products.

Between July 2023 and December 2025, the responsibility for Ontario’s Blue Box program will transition to producers. Learn more here.

Circular Materials is the producer responsibility organization that is responsible for implementing and managing the new extended producer responsibility recycling system in Ontario.

 

 

Why Recycle?

By recycling, you make a difference. 

Your recyclables – once collected, sorted and processed – can be used again and again, coming back into your home as another product or packaging! 

By recycling, you help protect our environment and conserve our planet’s natural resources.
