Sponsorship Opportunities

The Conference on Canadian Stewardship is where industry and government come together to discuss current and topical issues affecting product stewardship in Canada. This is an “industry-led” event where companies who financially contribute for the managing their end-of-life products, and organizations that operate EPR programs can actively participate in a lively forum dedicated to their interests. We expect over 300 delegates to join us in Halifax for our fourth bi-annual Conference on Canadian Stewardship.

Stewardship programs in Canada have expanded at a hectic pace with over 100 producer responsibility programs now operating across Canada. Stewardship programs have evolved to encompass electronic waste, tires, household special wastes, oil, paint, paper, lead-acid batteries, derelict automobiles, waste medications and pharmaceuticals, sharps and needles, and consumer packaging. These legislated and voluntary end-of-life programs have changed the corporate landscape for producers, collectors, processors, recyclers, government officials and suppliers of the goods and services that support stewardship in Canada.

Sponsors of the Conference on Canadian Stewardship have the opportunity to be front and center as leading companies and organizations that support and are leading the development of these exciting activities. We welcome you to consider being recognized as part of those leading the way in stewardship in Canada.
