Environment Canada is developing draft regulations to manage the end-of-life of ozone depleting substances (ODSs) and their halocarbon alternatives (HFCs and PFCs).
In general, the ARC indicated its support for the general concept of extended producer responsibility for ODSs. It indicated that ARC members subscribe to an approach to end-of-life vehicle (ELV) management that both maximizes their economic value through and recovery of reusable and recyclable parts and materials and minimizes the environmental burdens of ELV management through recovery of substances of concern.

ARC supports the CCMTA Guidelines and is in the process of educating recyclers, insurers and collision repairers regarding the content and implementation of those Guidelines.
