EPR: webinar recordings and resources for phase 2!
As Alberta moves into Phase 2 of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), municipalities can access a variety of resources to support implementation and resident communications. Last week, Alberta Municipalities (ABmunis) hosted a webinar on EPR Phase 2 to help members prepare for the transition. If you missed it, you can watch the recording here.
Resources for Mayors, Councillors, and Administration
Circular Materials has distributed an EPR Communications Toolkit to elected officials and municipal staff, which includes:
- Transition overview

Additional Communications Resources
Circular Materials also offers a wide range of resources to support local communications, including:
- FAQs
- Key messages
- Social media posts
- Posters and recycling guides
- News release templates

In addition, 27 new digital assets have recently been added to Circular Materials' Canto resource portal. Municipalities can access these materials through their Canto portal.
