End-of-Life Management of Lamps Containing Mercury
Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC), in partnership with Recycling Council of Ontario (RCO), are hosting an informational webinar on the development of a National Strategy for end-of-life management of lamps containing mercury.
End-of-Life Management of Lamps Containing Mercury

Wednesday, June 20, 2018

11 a.m. - noon et



The webinar is primarily the industrial, commercial, and institutional (IC&I) sectors, and ECCC is looking to connect with stakeholders that participate in end-of-life management of lamps containing mercury (e.g. electrical contractors), as well as large volume generators of these lamps (e.g. hospitals). The webinar is intended to provide an open forum for stakeholders to learn more about ECCC activities on lamps containing mercury, and to engage in the development of a National Strategy for their safe and environmentally sound disposal. 

Presenters from ECCC’s Waste Reduction and Management Division will provide an overview of departmental activities on mercury-containing lamps and information on open consultation processes.
