The Province of British Columbia recently received the highest rating (A) from EPR Canada's 2015 Report Card, according to Solid Waste & Recycling, for following the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) Canada-wide Action Plan on EPR implementation schedule "utilizing a non-prescriptive, results-based regulation that assigns responsibility for end-of-life management to producers or their agents... Duncan Bury, co-founder of EPR Canada, applauded BC for setting a steady pace toward full EPR that distinguishes it from other jurisdictions in Canada: BC continues to keep its foot on the pedal in establishing full producer responsibility for the consumer products that are sold into the marketplace... For that they deserve our highest honour and our congratulations."
