BC Battery Stewardship Plan Renewal
In 2018, the Call2Recycle Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Plan for dry-cell, single-use and rechargeable batteries sold as a stand-alone product or for replacement purposes only was approved by the British Columbia Ministry of Environment and Climate Change. Pursuant to section 6 of the Regulation and based on the plan’s original approval date, Call2Recycle’s next plan review must be completed by March 1, 2020.
In preparation for plan submission, we invite you to participate in the consultation process by reviewing the renewal plan and/or participating in one of two webinars Call2Recycle will be hosting on January 16, 2020 and January 22, 2020
