Canada-Wide Action Plan for Extended Producer ... - CCME

Appendix E – Guidance Tools
EPR Evaluation Tool and User Guidance Manual (CCME, 2007)
The evaluation tool is intended to be used by decision makers across Canada to assist in the
prioritization of candidate products for an EPR program. CCME recognizes jurisdictions have
different EPR programs already in place and encourages each to use this tool to assist them in
prioritizing products for EPR to suit their needs. This evaluation tool can be used in two ways:
1) For a single candidate product (or a family of related products) to determine whether EPR
is a suitable program option
2) For a list of possible candidate products (or families of related products) to help prioritize
and determine which is best suited to EPR.
A detailed user manual accompanies this tool. Both the tool and the user manual are available on
the CCME website.
Performance Measurement and Reporting for Extended Producer Responsibility Programs -
