Decision Tree

Do you manufacture, import, or sell packaged products in Canada?

Packaging Compliance Principles
Navigate the regulatory landscape with confidence
Know Your Obligations
Every company in the packaging value chain must understand their federal and provincial obligations before enforcement arrives.
Design for Circularity
Packaging design decisions today determine compliance costs tomorrow. Design for recycling, reuse, and recycled content from the start.
Data as Compliance Infrastructure
Material composition, volume, and flow data are the foundation of every filing. Invest in data collection early.
Harmonize Across Jurisdictions
Nine provinces, one registry, one ban. National companies need national compliance strategies, not province-by-province patchwork.
Compliance Outcomes
Compliance decision framework based on CEPA, the Federal Plastics Registry, and provincial EPR program requirements.
