About SK Recycles
- - - SK Recycles is a non-profit organization responsible for managing the recycling of household packaging and paper across Saskatchewan. Working with producers, collectors, municipalities, First Nations, Métis communities, and residents, SK Recycles ensures household materials are collected from households and depots, sorted and responsibly recycled. Our program is funded by over 550 businesses that include retailers, manufacturers and restaurants that supply packaging and paper to Saskatchewan residents, shifting costs away from homeowners.

The Household Packaging and Paper Stewardship Program Regulations, 2023 (“the Regulation”) was released and came into effect on March 31, 2023. This requires the transition to a full extended producer responsibility (EPR) model, whereby producers assume operational and financial responsibility for collecting and recycling packaging and paper products in Saskatchewan.

Draft Program Plan

A draft Program Plan was developed as a result of Saskatchewan releasing the Household Packaging and Paper Stewardship Program Regulations, 2023.

Engagement

Engagement on the draft Program Plan took place between June 13 and August 13, 2023. Engagement sessions provided an opportunity to learn more about the draft Program Plan, ask questions and provide feedback.

Working in collaboration with not-for-profit producer-led producer responsibility organization, Circular Materials, we released the What We Heard engagement summary report. The What We Heard report provides a summary of engagement activities we undertook and the resulting feedback from stakeholders. We thank all participants who provided their time and comments on the draft Program Plan.

We are committed to respecting the culturally rich history that the land in which we operate holds with the Dakota and Lakota (Sioux), Denesuline (Dene/Chipewyan), Nahkawininiwak (Saulteaux), Nakota (Assiniboine), Nêhiyawak (Plains Cree), and Métis communities in stewardship, care and leadership.

We value and respect the unique connection Indigenous peoples have with the natural world and we embrace the opportunity of continued learning and shared experiences in our work of environmental stewardship and partnership.
