ARMA 发布首份 EPR 年度报告，确立未来进展基线
ARMA Releases First EPR Annual Report, Establishing Baseline for Future Progress
ARMA（Alberta Recycling Management Authority）发布 2025 年 EPR 年度报告，这是 Alberta 生产者付费回收体系首个过渡年度的实施情况总结，此前 PPP 与 HSP 项目第一阶段已于 2025 年 4 月 1 日启动。启动时 217 个社区（约占 Alberta 人口 94%）获得 EPR 资助服务，超过 5,300 家生产商和供应商参与 ARMA 管理的 EPR。2025 年 PPP 项目贡献 GDP 超过 $160 million、工资 $75 million、税收 $10.1 million，并支撑 1,230 个全职等效岗位。
Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) has released its 2025 Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Annual Report, marking an important milestone in Alberta’s transition to a more coordinated, producer-funded recycling system.
The report outlines the implementation of Alberta’s EPR framework during its first transitional year, following the April 1, 2025, launch of Phase I of the Single-Use Products, Packaging and Paper Products (PPP) and Hazardous and Special Products (HSP) programs.
The transition maintained service continuity while establishing the partnerships and processes needed to support the system’s continued development. At launch, 217 communities, representing approximately 94% of Alberta’s population, were receiving EPR-funded services, with more than 5,300 producers and suppliers participating in ARMA-administered EPR.
The report also highlights the economic contributions of recycling in Alberta. In 2025, the PPP program contributed more than $160 million to GDP, generated $75 million in wages, contributed $10.1 million in taxes, and supported 1,230 full-time-equivalent jobs.
As the first province-wide baseline for measuring EPR system performance, the report provides a foundation for evaluating future progress. Regulatory material management targets take effect in 2027, with the first reporting against those targets beginning in 2028.
“Alberta’s transition to Extended Producer Responsibility represents an important step forward in modernizing recycling across the province, said Ed Gugenheimer, CEO of ARMA. “Our first annual report demonstrates what can be achieved through collaboration, providing a strong foundation for greater access, accountability, and improved system performance over time.”
The launch of Phase II PPP on October 1, 2026, represented the next step in expanding and standardizing recycling services across Alberta, including access for eligible multi-family residences. These changes are expected to increase system coverage to 97% of Alberta’s population.
ARMA will continue working with the Government of Alberta, communities, Indigenous partners, and industry to strengthen oversight, improve reporting, and advance a more accessible, accountable, and effective recycling system.
