Encorp Pacific: Pioneering Beverage Container Stewardship in Canada

Encorp Pacific (Canada) was established in 1998 as a product stewardship agency to manage the Beverage Container Stewardship Program, backed by the 1994 Litter Act and Regulation in 2004. It operates within a collaborative framework involving government, municipalities, retailers, and the private sector. Encorp's funding model leverages unredeemed deposits, container recycling fees, and commodity values to sustain its operations. The system involves brand owners, retailers, consumers, depots, transporters, processors, and recyclers, promoting efficient recycling and environmental responsibility.
