Canada's three operational, industry-led and regulated environmental stewardship programs for end-of-life electronics have come together to ensure their efforts on driving economies of scale across their individual compliance efforts are harmonized. Atlantic Canada Electronics Stewardship (ACES), the Saskatchewan Waste Electronic Equipment Program (SWEEP), and the Electronics Stewardship Association of British Columbia (ESABC) have staffed an office of Harmonization Coordination as of January 1, 2009. This website will be the virtual focal point and portal for the programs' efforts to avoid duplication, while taking advantage of cross-jurisdictional approaches.

• July 27, 2009 Standardized Credit Request Memo for POPs seeking Reconciliation from Remitter’s related to Phase I product EHF revisions

  ACES, ESABC and SWEEP are pleased to provide an automated spreadsheet (in Microsoft Excel format) for POP members looking to report back to their suppliers (remitters) on inventory of effected products as of July 31, 2009. The guidelines for this process can be found here. Please note the spreadsheet has individual tabs to report by program (ACES, ESABC & SWEEP).

• July 20, 2009 New Remitter’s Guidelines for EHF Credits to POPs related to Phase I product EHF revisions

  As a result of changes to Environmental Handling Fees (EHFs) scheduled to take effect on August 1, 2009, POP members of ACES, ESABC and SWEEP may have paid their supplier (remitter) a different EHF rate for obligated products than what their customer will be charged after August 1st. To ensure that remitters who reimburse POP for the difference between the EHF on unsold inventory and the new EHF can recover these amounts from the programs, a set of guidelines has been developed.
