As the Administrator of Nova Scotia’s Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Packaging, Paper Products and Packaging-Like Products (PPP) Regulations, Divert NS is responsible for overseeing compliance and enforcing the obligations of producers, processors, and producer responsibility organizations.
The Regulations authorize the Administrator to recover its costs for oversight. As Divert NS must consult with affected parties when establishing methods for cost recovery, producers will be engaged annually to provide feedback on proposed fees.
Fee Consultation
On March 19, 2025, Divert NS hosted a producer webinar to kick off our 2025 EPR Oversight Fee consultation. During the webinar, Divert NS shared key principles for fee setting, the components of cost recovery and proposed fee rates. A recording of the webinar can be found here: Fee Consultation Webinar.
Divert NS has distributed an online feedback survey to all registered producers to receive input on the fee structure and proposed 2025 EPR Oversight fee rates. Feedback on the proposed rates will be accepted until May 23, 2025. All producer input will be considered before finalizing fee rates. Note: If you are a registered producer and did not receive a link to complete the feedback survey, please contact eprsupport@divertns.ca.
A Fee Consultation Summary Report that outlines the feedback received, along with final fee rates, will be posted on our website in July.
