Draft PPP stewardship plan posted for review and workshop reminder

Stakeholders Invited to Review and Comment

Multi-Material British Columbia (MMBC) has posted the Draft Packaging and Printed Paper Stewardship Plan for stakeholder review.

Information Documents

In addition to the draft stewardship plan, MMBC also has posted:

• Draft list of recyclable materials that will be collected at the curb or in depots
• Draft preliminary activities to prepare for implementation
• Draft definition of producers for purposes of producer obligation and reporting
