Compliance Best Practices for the Canadian Federal Plastics Registry (FPR)

Join us for a must-attend webinar designed to help businesses navigate the complex regulatory landscape of the Canadian Federal Plastics Registry. With the inaugural FPR reporting deadline of September 29, 2025, quickly approaching, producers, importers, and value chain organizations across Canada must prepare now to meet new national reporting obligations for plastics. 

This live session will provide practical strategies and expert insights to support accurate, timely, and audit-ready compliance. 

What You’ll Learn

Canada’s FPR introduces far-reaching reporting requirements that impact plastic packaging, single-use products, and more. In this session, our regulatory compliance experts will: 

  • Break down your legal obligations under the FPR—and how they relate to Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programs at the provincial level. 
  • Clarify which products, business activities, and categories fall under mandatory reporting in 2025—and what additional changes are coming in 2026. 
  • Outline a step-by-step compliance roadmap, including best practices for accurate FPR submissions. 

 

RLG experts on the Canadian Federal Plastics Registry will help you anticipate challenges, avoid costly missteps, and confidently prepare your 2024 data for submission.
