The OWMA has released its recommendations for a new used-tires regulation under the province’s Resource Recovery and Circular Economy Act (RRCEA).
The association’s briefing note on the Key Components for the Used Tire Regulation, which was put together with the help of the OWMA’s Used Tires Caucus, will provide the basis for the OWMA’s advocacy work on this policy file.
The document advances several key priorities of the association as the Ministry continues to work toward winding up Ontario Tire Stewardship and developing a producer-responsibility for used tires in the province.
The government laid out the direction it intends to take with development of the new used-tires regulation in a power-point presentation that was delivered at a consultation meeting on May 2.
The OWMA is pleased that the government’s approach is significantly aligned with the priorities and recommendations our association has put forward.
The new used-tires regulation is particularly important for the OWMA and its members because it will set the precedent for the development of new regulations for the printed paper and packaging program, the waste electrical and electronic equipment program and the municipal hazardous or special waste program.
