Executive Director, Extended Producer Responsibility
The Organization
The Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) acts on behalf of the province to oversee end-of-life processing of tires, electronics, paint and used oil materials.

ARMA has recently been named by the province to oversee Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) by way of regulation. This will require leading the business development of a new division at ARMA and overseeing the implementation of a new recycling framework for the province.
