Many countries, including Canada, have actively implemented policies and
programs to prevent pollution and promote waste minimization. Yet,
environmental pressures are still increasing and the generation of wastes and
the management of their disposal continues to be a concern.
In the face of these challenges, and in the interests of supporting sustainable
development objectives, new policies and programs are being evaluated,
developed and implemented both by government and by businesses. Key
among these approaches are Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and
stewardship.
