Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies around the world are evolving beyond recycling to enable reusable packaging systems. At the same time, producers facing rising EPR costs are increasingly motivated to integrate reuse, whether within their supply chains, transportation and logistics, or consumer packaging models.

In Canada, provincial EPR programs continue to roll out, federal single-use reduction policies are advancing, and municipal governments are embedding reuse into their Circular Economy Roadmaps and Waste Diversion Plans. This creates a pivotal opportunity to introduce and scale reuse systems and make them both cost-effective and accessible.

Join Circular Innovation Council and international experts from CITEO (France), Fost Plus (Belgium), and the Circular Action Alliance (U.S.) for an in-depth discussion on how EPR systems can drive the governance, investment, and shared infrastructure needed to advance reusable packaging, and what lessons Canada can draw from global leaders in circular packaging policy.
