Exciting Announcement!
We’re delighted to share some fantastic news: Circular Materials, based in Ontario, Canada, is now officially a part of our Alliance, marking our 33rd member
As the second Canadian organization to join EXPRA, Circular Materials is a not-for-profit producer responsibility organization (PRO) dedicated to aiding producers in meeting their extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulatory obligations for collecting and managing packaging, paper, and packaging-like products in Ontario and New Brunswick. Their values perfectly align with EXPRA’s ten golden rules (https://expra.eu/beliefs/), and they were founded by 17 leading food, beverage, and consumer products manufacturers, restaurants, and retailers in Canada.
Already closely collaborating with Éco Entreprises Québec (ÉEQ), a longstanding EXPRA member, Circular Materials aims to advance joint interests and initiatives focused on optimizing practices to improve recycling rates and drive innovation.
Allen Langdon, Chief Executive Officer of Circular Materials, expressed his excitement about the partnership, stating, “We are thrilled to partner and collaborate with EXPRA and its members to evolve and share best practices that enhance performance, optimize operations, drive technological innovation, and investments in recycling infrastructure.”
He further added, “This partnership with EXPRA aligns with our commitment to drive circular solutions through innovation and best practices. We look forward to building on the knowledge and experiences from the European EPR industry as we build efficient and effective EPR systems in Ontario and other provinces across Canada.”
Let’s join forces in driving positive change and creating a more sustainable future!
