Who is ARPE

ARPE

ARPE is the french translation for EPRA which stands for electronic products recycling association. In 2011 Canada’s electronics industry created EPRA, as the national, non-profit entity chartered with improving the efficiency and effectiveness of Canada’s industry-led and regulated electronics stewardship programs. Members of Electronics Product Stewardship Canada and the Retail Council of Canada established EPRA. Click here for a link to our EPRA homepage.

By October 1, 2012, the date on which the environmental handling fee (EHF) will be included on new and regulated electronic products sold in Quebec, ARPE-Québec will begin deploying the full electronic products recycling program to ensure that it is effective, efficient and accessible to people in all regions of Quebec.
