How will OES ensure the highest level of performance and compliance in the recycling of WEEE materials?
The OES Program Plan requires all processors to adhere to an Electronic Recycling Standard (ERS) (reference Appendix 9a of the WEEE Program Plan) which is based upon the Recycling Vendor Qualification Standard (RVQS) originally developed by Electronic Product Stewardship Canada (EPSC). In addition to this national standard, the OES Standard is compatible with the Waste Diversion Act (WDA), other Ontario regulations including Regulation 347 and Ontario waste management policies.
