Information Sessions 2014 March 25 Stewardship Ontario Communication issued to Blue Box stewards – Update Regarding Fee Setting Methodology Consultation
On March 25, 2014, Stewardship Ontario issued the below communication to Blue Box stewards containing a link to a document titled: Enhancing the Fairness of the Fee Setting Methodology for Packaging and Printed Paper.
On March 20, 2014 Stewardship Ontario held a consultation to discuss potential changes to the fee setting methodology with the objective of enhancing its fairness for all stewards. The detailed technical briefing has caused some confusion in the steward community, particularly the use of 2013 fee rates, which were shown for illustrative purposes only and were not intended to be interpreted as recommended fees. Therefore, to assist stewards to understand the proposed options from a principled perspective, we have developed the attached note to better explain the proposed change options in the context of the fee setting methodology’s original principles and the three-factor formula. We have also included the consultation questions in the attached note for your convenience.

We look forward to receiving your feedback. Should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us on 1-888-980-9549 or email: WeRecycle@stewardshipontario.ca
