Circular Materials is a national not-for-profit organization that supports producers in meeting their extended producer responsibility (EPR) obligations and building efficient and effective recycling systems where materials are collected, recycled, and returned back to producers to use as recycled content in new packaging and paper. In 2026, the province of Ontario will transition to EPR where producers will be managing the collection and recycling of the blue box program.
As the administrator of Ontario’s common collection system, Circular Materials is responsible for operating the new system for blue box materials. Circular Materials is committed to increasing recycling rates across Ontario and ensuring more materials are looped into the circular economy, benefiting both people and the environment.
