Dialogue on the Blue Box Program - held on September 14, 2011

Stewardship Ontario held a Dialogue on the Blue Box Program where stewards and stakeholders had the opportunity to learn about the key cost drivers that will influence operation of the 2012 Blue Box Program and engage in a discussion about proposed changes to the Blue Box Rules designed to make the process fairer, clearer and more consistent with Quebec and Manitoba.

An important dialogue about proposed changes to the Blue Box Rules that will:

  • Provide clear guidance on steward reporting requirements
  • Reduce “free riding” and ensure a fairer allocation of administrative and compliance related costs
  • Improve data accuracy that translates into ever-more precise calibration of stewardship fees to program costs
  •  Harmonize processes and protocols with other jurisdictions.

This year Stewardship Ontario conducted a comprehensive review of the Blue Box Rules to determine how they can better promote fairness and clarity in the reporting process. This process was informed by discussions with members of the steward community. A discussion paper setting out the key objectives and findings of our Rules review will be distributed to stewards in advance of the September 14th session. Your participation and input into our discussion on September 14th will be critical to the success of the 2012 Blue Box Program.
