Regulatory History
Effective in February 2006, government added computers, televisions, computer monitors and computer peripherals to the Recycling Regulation making industry responsible for the lifecycle management of their products.
With the enactment of the Environmental Management Act (EMA) on July 8, 2004, EMA combined the Waste Management Act and Environment Management Act to create a single statute governing environmental protection and management in British Columbia. The new act incorporated provisions allowing for the development of innovative and modern regulatory regimes. One such regime is the Recycling Regulation (BC Reg. 449/04).
