'Boneheaded policy': Newspapers push back against new EPR recycling regulations yyc AlbertaNewspapers
The province released its new Extended Producer Responsibility regulation earlier this week following in the footsteps of Ontario, B.C., Saskatchewan and Manitoba who all have put similar regulations in place in recent years. The goal of the regulations is to reduce the amount of material like packaging that ends up in the recycle bin while shifting the cost of recycling off of municipalities and onto producers. In the case of newspapers, the product is paper, not the packaging.
He said the role of community papers has become increasingly important in an age of disinformation and fake news on social media. They play an important role in informing the community and holding local politicians to account. Ontario recently changed its EPR to exempt newspapers and the hope from the Alberta Weekly Newspapers Association is a similar change will be made before the regulation comes into effect on Nov. 30.
