The Canadian EPR Forum

From September 14 to 16, 2026, the Château Frontenac in Quebec City will host the Canadian EPR Forum. It is the must-attend event in North America to catch up on extended producer responsibility, evolving regulations, and the future of the circular economy.

As environmental requirements become stricter and ÉEQ fee schedules evolve, this event offers a unique opportunity to understand best practices in ecodesign and residual materials management.
