OWMA Recommends a “Rethink Waste “Mandate for the Minister of the Environment in Ontario’s 43rd Parliament

OWMA has written to Premier Ford to recommend that his Minister of the Environment in the 43rd Parliament be provided a mandate to implement key solutions to enhance waste management and diversion in Ontario, such as increasing recycling targets, modernizing the approvals process for new waste systems infrastructure, and improve food and organic waste diversion through the potential use of disposal bans, disposal levies, extended producer responsibility programs, and new rules for compostable packaging that reduce contamination and ensure high-quality outputs.
