Stewardship Plans
The Recycling Regulation provides a legal framework for establishing industry-led product stewardship programs. Section 4 of the Regulation requires producers to submit a stewardship plan and specific product categories may also have unique plan requirements listed in the Regulation's Product Schedules. The basic components required in a stewardship plan are specified in section 5 of the Regulation and include:
- Product Recovery Target(s)
- Stakeholder Consultation
- Collection System
- Consumer Awareness
- Program Performance Measurement
- Dispute Resolution
- Product Life Cycle Management
- Pollution Prevention Hierarchy
The following stewardship plan documents were approved by the Ministry of Environment for this product category:

This stewardship plan is anticipated to be posted in Autumn 2008 following plan finalization by BDL and approval by the ministry.
