WDO Board Approves Automotive Materials Stewardship ISP

On August 10, Waste Diversion Ontario (WDO) approved the Industry Stewardship Plan (ISP) submitted by Automotive Materials Stewardship (AMS) for the management of antifreeze, antifreeze containers, oil containers and oil filters. The official launch date for the ISP will be set by WDO at a later date, but will be no earlier than January 1, 2017.

Over the coming weeks, we will be sharing more detailed information with you about how stewards who are interested in joining AMS may do so. We will work with AMS to ensure that stewards and service providers continue to receive a high level of service and that the transition is seamless.

To assist stewards of these materials with the transition of the program, AMS will be hosting a webinar in the near future to update you about the next steps. Stay tuned for more details.
