THE PULSE
NEWSLETTER OF THE CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF RECYCLING INDUSTRIES
Vol. 21, Issue 12, December 2016
MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR
December marks the end of a busy year for CARI. From engaging with government officials and stakeholders on a variety of consultation processes, organizing 75th Anniversary celebrations, and developing new online systems, it has been a productive year.
Having recently travelled with CARI President Tracy Shaw to meet with ISRI representatives in Washington, I can say there is much work to do in 2017. We will continue to strengthen relationships with international organizations, as we work towards shared goals for our industry on a global scale.
With a new Canadian government in control in 2016, we experienced an uptick in environmental legislation. Our neighbours to the south will inaugurate a new President in January, and CARI will continue to monitor and report on Canada/United States trade relations in the coming months.
Along with CARI staff Donna, Marie, and Tracy, and the CARI Board of Directors, I would like to wish every member, its employees, and their families a wonderful holiday season and a prosperous New Year.
Dan Klufas,
CARI Chair

FAST FACTS
- Combined Metal Industries has plans to expand with its second location in the United States. The Toronto-based company will look to capitalize on opportunities in the southeast by setting up in Atlanta, and it is possible the company may open a physical processing yard in the south.
- As of November 30, 2016, the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA) is operational under the Waste-Free Ontario Act. The RPRA will be responsible for tracking and enforcing a new framework that makes producers responsible for end-of-life products and packaging. The RPRA will also enforce existing legislated waste diversion programs until those programs are wrapped up.
