It\u2019s the End of HWIN, the Start of HWP \u2013 New System for Ontario Wastes<\/h2>\n

The thousands of waste generators who ship waste within, from or to the Canadian province of Ontario will probably be familiar with something called HWIN \u2013 the Hazardous Waste Information Network. But on January 1, 2023, that system ended, and was replaced with a new online system, the Hazardous Waste Program (HWP) Registry. This moves the specific oversight from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks to the Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority (RPRA). As of January 1, 2023, businesses and institutions subject to Ontario\u2019s Regulation 347: General \u2013 Waste Management<\/a> must report their activities and pay fees through RPRA\u2019s new system.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s Changing?<\/h3>\n

The general function of this new system will be the same \u2013 to enable Ontario\u2019s environmental authorities to oversee and manage hazardous wastes generated or disposed of in Ontario safely. The majority of reporting, including manifesting, will be much the same. But here are some changes that will, it\u2019s hoped, make the system simpler and more effective:<\/p>\n
