ÉEQ believes that strengthening the management of residual materials in Quebec will contribute to meeting the objectives the Minister has set down in the new policy. "Curbside recycling is the simplest and most efficient system for Quebec residents. And, since ÉEQ is a player at the forefront of the process, we are pleased that our work is making a difference," said Maryse Vermette, President and Managing Director of the organization.

ÉEQ is determined to improve the curbside recycling compensation plan, both for the benefit of companies who pay into it and for citizens who make daily efforts to sort and recover their containers, packaging and printed matter. ÉEQ feels strongly that the Policy and its resulting legislative and regulatory amendments, particularly the mechanism that determines reimbursable net costs, must ensure that the costs of curbside recycling are strictly controlled and that the measures holding municipalities accountable are based on the efficiency and effectiveness of their programs as well as on good management and transparency. ÉEQ is convinced that there is much more to do to optimize Quebec's curbside recycling system.

That is why Minister Line Beauchamp can count on the organization's full cooperation to meet recycling goals in the interest of the entire community. ÉEQ maintains the position that the success of curbside recycling depends on shared financial responsibility between companies and municipalities. That partnership has generated good results so far. ÉEQ is open to a renewed partnership that includes municipal financial responsibility.
