B.C. reusable bag requirements expected in forthcoming regulation
In the spring of 2022, the B.C. government held discussions on cutting back on the use of single-use items. The RCC anticipates that the regulation will reflect the ideas presented in the consultation document. A definition is given in the document, which reads, "Reusable bag: A bag intended and produced to be used and machine cleaned at least 100 times." In their answer to the consultation, RCC noted that the machine-washable criterion would preclude using suitable substitutes like leather and jute. RCC anticipates that this regulation will take effect in BC in 2024. We anticipate that the bags could be subject to an eco-fee if they fall under the province's extended producer responsibility framework. The government has stated that a "What We Heard" report will be released soon.
