 Beverage Container Product Category
In British Columbia, the Recycling Regulation requires beverage producers to be responsible for used beverage containers. The regulation also stipulates that beverage containers be managed under a deposit-refund system and applies to all containers of ready-to-drink beverages, except for milk, milk substitutes, infant formula and meal replacements.
The Recycling Regulation’s Schedule 1 lists specific regulatory requirements for the Beverage Container Product Category.
Beverage containers are managed in accordance with stewardship plans approved under the regulation. Beverage producers have formed two stewardship agencies to assist with fulfilling their regulatory requirements. It is these agencies that have developed the required stewardship plans.
