Alberta will transition to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for single-use products, packaging and printed paper in April .

EPR transfers the responsibility of collecting, sorting, processing and recycling waste onto producers, rather than municipal governments.

Alberta is following in the footsteps of Ontario , B.C. , Saskatchewan and Manitoba , which have all enacted similar EPR regulations.

Calgary city council will need to approve amendments to its waste bylaw changes.
