Meet RLG at the 2025 AMO Annual Conference

August 17, 2025 9:00 am

RLG is proud to announce our participation as an exhibitor at the 2025 Association of Municipalities of Ontario (AMO) Conference, taking place from August 17 to 20 in Ottawa, Ontario.

The AMO Conference is Ontario’s premier annual event for municipal leaders, bringing together over 2,000 elected officials, municipal staff, provincial representatives, and key stakeholders from across the province. With a focus on innovation, sustainability, and community-driven solutions, AMO 2025 offers a vital platform for advancing shared priorities that impact local governance and environmental responsibility.

Visit our Booth #330

We invite attendees to visit our booth #330 to learn more about how we support industry stakeholders in building a circular economy. A highlight at our booth will be the LiSa Box – an innovative, proactive solution for safer handling, storage, and transport of lithium-ion batteries.

As battery use continues to rise across sectors – from consumer electronics to e‑mobility– many lithium-ion batteries inevitably end up in the waste stream. The LiSa Box addresses the growing safety and compliance concerns around managing end-of-life and damaged, defective, and recalled (DDR) lithium-ion batteries. It represents a critical step forward in helping municipalities and waste service providers handle these materials more responsibly.

Why We’re Attending

For 30 years, RLG has partnered with industries to build and expand programs that align with environmental responsibility. We are also the operator of Ontario’s Blue Box program, managing the collection of over 520,000MT of recycling in 2024. From EPR compliance to advanced data management, RLG is committed to helping organizations achieve their environmental targets and advance the circular economy.

Talk to RLG experts about:

Innovative solutions like the LiSa Box that address emerging lithium-ion battery safety challenges
Opportunities to support lithium-ion battery and electronics recycling programs
How RLG helps stakeholders align with provincial EPR regulations
Collaborations that enable more sustainable, circular systems at the local level

Let’s Connect in Ottawa

If you’re attending AMO 2025, we’d love to meet you. Stop by the RLG booth to see the LiSa Box in action and chat with our team about how we can support your environmental goals.

We look forward to seeing you in Ottawa!
