The Ontario government is under corporate pressure to alter the blue box recycling program regulations as industry groups, including major supermarket chains, seek changes due to rising expenses. Municipalities and environmental organizations express concerns that suggested changes could shift the financial burden and environmental responsibility from industry to taxpayers and the environment.
The industry's push for amendments to the blue box recycling program in Ontario is seen as an attempt to avoid their environmental duties, according to Ashley Wallis from Environmental Defence. Concerns arise that if producers do not cover packaging costs, it may result in increased costs for municipalities, more landfill waste, and litter problems.
