Steward Jobs in Goderich, ON

Founded in 2011, the Electronic Products Recycling Association (EPRA) is an industry-led, not-for-profit organization that operates regulated recycling programs across Canada. With over 3,150 locations across the country, they represent the largest network of qualified electronic processors and drop-off locations in Canada. The EPRA works across diverse regulatory landscapes and a challenging logistical backdrop, to ensure materials are collected, recycled, and handled in a safe, secure, and environmentally sound manner. Over 1.4 million tonnes of electronics have been diverted from Canadian landfill and illegal export, with valuable materials making their way back into the manufacturing supply chain and used to make new products.

The EPRA’s long term vision is to be recognized in Canada as the leading provider of product stewardship programs, with a primary focus on electronic equipment and complementary products and services, delivering sustainable, compliant, and cost-effective management.
