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. The program will take an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) approach, meaning that paint producers will be responsible for the paint from the point of production through to post consumer recycling. This will be the first EPR-based recycling program for the province.
