Circular Materials

Circular Materials is a national not-for-profit organization based in Toronto, Ontario, dedicated to helping producers comply with extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations for packaging and paper products. Founded by a coalition of leading Canadian food, beverage, and consumer product manufacturers, the organization focuses on designing and managing efficient recycling systems to promote a circular economy across various provinces, including Ontario, New Brunswick, and Alberta. The organization offers a range of services to support producers in fulfilling their EPR obligations. This includes the design and implementation of recycling programs, supply chain operations, producer registration and education, and technology support for tracking and reporting. Circular Materials collaborates with environmental organizations and educational groups to enhance recycling initiatives and community engagement. By managing provincial EPR programs and utilizing secure technology platforms, Circular Materials aims to ensure materials are effectively collected, recycled, and reintegrated into production processes.
