Newfoundland: Extended Producer Responsibility on Paint Recycling Program

The Newfoundland and Labrador government has implemented amendments to the Waste Management Regulations, under the Environmental Protection Act, in order to introduce a paint recycling program targeting waste paint products.

These changes will allow producers to play the primary role in managing the end-of-life treatment of their products through the development, funding, and management of a recycling program for most types of residential and commercial paints.
