Key Highlights
Slide 17

• Broad agreement on paints coatings oil
  filters oil containers antifreeze
• Considerable discussion to reach compromise on
  fertilizers pesticides capture potential small
  quantity Industrial, Commercial Institutional
  (ICI) generators without including compost,
  manure, natural materials

Ministers Letter
Slide 20

• 5. Funding Rules for Phase 1 of the phase-in
  schedule
• a) Consistent with WDA principles, the proposed
  funding rules should designate and define as
  stewards under the program, brand owners and/or
  first importers into Ontario of products that
  result in the generation of MHSW under the
  program. Such products shall be referred to as
  Municipal Hazardous or Special Material.

Waste Diversion Act, 2002 Addendum to the
Ministers Request for a waste diversion program
for Municipal Hazardous or Special Waste
21
Current Stewardship Ontario Rules
Slide 21

• Current Blue Box Rules designate
• Brand Owner
• First Importer
• Voluntary Steward
• Should we simply replace Blue Box with
  Municipal Hazardous or Special Material (MHSM)
  keep same Rule structure?

22
Voluntary Steward Current Rule
Slide 22

• Any person who elects to become a steward
  respecting Designated Blue Box Waste that would
  otherwise be the responsibility of another
  steward, shall be designated a steward upon
  execution of a contract with Stewardship Ontario,
  notice of which appears on the Stewardship
  Ontario website, and the steward otherwise
  responsible is exempt from the requirement to pay
  fees respecting such Designated Blue Box Waste
  during the currency of the contract.
• Should this be adopted for MHSW program?

23
Voluntary Steward Options for MHSM
Slide 23

• Modify current approach
• allows out of province brand owners to report on
  behalf of resident retailer(s)
• New approach
• allow retailers to report remit on behalf of
  brand owners
• allow retailers to remit fees brand owners
  report

24
Summary
Slide 24

• For the MHSW program, Rules required to
• designate steward
• provide provision for voluntary option
• define MHSM
• establish fee rates
• establish commencement date data year
• establish reporting requirements deadlines

  to serve Ontario
• currently have infrastructure to help fulfill to
  be determined plan
• municipal industry teams working to define
  collection, transportation processing

41
MHSW Plan Development (2)
Slide 41

• Municipal thoughts, continued
• need to establish accessibility standard
• define role of industry take back programs
• define municipal role
• what to do in areas where no municipal programs
  or dollars to cover MHSW?

42
MHSW Plan Development (3)
Slide 42

• Municipal thoughts, continued
• small quantity ICI generator service impact on
  collection costs? on accessibility issue?
• plan must avoid best practice analysis
  paralysis datacalls
• when will plan be implemented?
• when will industry step up to plate institute
  EPR?

43
Ontario MHSW Infrastructure
Slide 43

• Will serve all Ontario residents adequately
• Combination of industry take back programs
  continuation of municipal programs
• Meets WDA requirements
• Sustainable operations program that promote EPR
  with ENVIRONMENT as priority

75
Phase I Program Management Options
Slide 75

• Ministers Letter
• Program shall address diversion principles by
  providing financial and/or other incentives
  encouraging reduction, reuse and recycling
  activities.
• 5h) Potential fees shall be used to maximize the
  management of MHSW through reduction, reuse and
  recycling and not to fund or promote the burning,
  landfilling or land application of MHSW unless
  the 3R options are not available or technically
  feasible.
• 8h) A list of benchmarks and performance measures
  used to encourage 3Rs, promote best practices
  and encourage the development of innovative
  diversion techniques.

76
Input on Plan Options
Slide 76

• Obtained from

Options for Phase 1 Products (1)
Slide 77
Please see Handout 3
78
Options for Phase 1 Products (2)
Slide 78

• Detailed in Handout 3
• Available for download
• Favour 3Rs over alternatives
• 3Rs reduction, reuse recycling
• alternatives EFW, incineration, non-hazardous
  hazardous landfill

79
Reduce Quantity Requiring Management
Slide 79

• Through consumer education
• consumable products "buy what you need, use what
  you buy supported by retailer advice (e.g.
  paint, solvents, fertilizers, pesticides)
• proper storage (paints, solvents)
• automotive products observe service intervals
  (antifreeze, oil filters, oil containers)
• choose reusable options (e.g. batteries,
  pressurized containers)

80
Reduce Environmental Impact
Slide 80

• Positive trends in industry
• from oil based paints to latex (incidental
  reduction in solvent use for clean up)
• motor technology improvements significantly
  extending or eliminating service intervals for
  antifreeze, oil filters, oil containers
• DIY market declining for some products less
  packaging, unused product
• reformulation alkaline batteries (mercury
  elimination), pesticides
• product options water vs. solvent based
  products single use vs. rechargeable/refillable
  fertilizer vs. compost
• options to change how sold priced

81
Local Centralized Reuse
Slide 81

• Local Reuse
• municipal giveaway programs mainly paint,
  requires support re product safety, liability
  labelling issues
• Centralized Reuse
• centralized (regional) reuse facilities may
  improve selection volumes
• other options include Habitat for Humanity,
  theatre groups, anti- graffiti, etc.
• small scale on-site reprocessing for small
  quantity ICI generators of antifreeze
  pressurized containers
• reusable products rechargeable batteries,
  refillable pressurized containers

  data (municipal, contracted, promotion
  education PE)

84
Collection Municipal Programs (3)
Slide 84

• IFOmunicipal discussion
• Basis for program accessibility targets
• Roles responsibilities of IFO municipalities
• defining municipal collection function
• expected reduction in depot based handling (e.g.
  paint bulking) to allow better 3Rs utilization
• post collection function shift to IFO
  responsibility
• PE primarily shift to IFO responsibility
• Servicing small quantity ICI generators
• current certificates of approval typically
  restricted to household generators
• transitional issues during current service
  contracts

85
Collection Other Programs
Slide 85

• Antifreeze, oil filters containers current
  commercial services collect oil filters
  containers, but not all recycled
• Pressurized containers existing commercial
  services collect/refill (if necessary recertify)
  rechargeable containers
• Pesticides CropLife agricultural programs
• container management
• collection disposal of obsolete pesticides

86
Recycling
Slide 86

• Significant recycling of some materials under
  current system
• e.g. paint, oil filters, antifreeze, refillable
  propane tanks
• Few opportunities significant room for
  improvement for many materials
• for some products, recycling technology exists
  but is underdeveloped or underutilized
• program expected to increase processing/market
  capacity
• program expected to develop innovative diversion
  techniques
• Essentially no opportunity for pesticides
  recycling

87
Non 3Rs Management Options Incineration,
Energy Recovery Landfill
Slide 87

• WDA specifies programs shall not promote
  burning or landfill unless 3Rs options not
  available or not technically feasible
• Some Phase 1 products currently being managed
  through burning landfilling
• Challenges in moving from non-3Rs to 3Rs
  management
• due to age, contamination, decomposition, etc.,
  some products not suitable for recycling
