Welcome to the Ontario Electronic Stewardship website

Ontario Electronic Stewardship (OES) is the Industry Funding Organization (IFO) for the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Program Plan. Companies that make and market electronic products in Ontario are the stewards of OES and are obligated under the Waste Diversion Act to register report and pay fees to operate the program across Ontario

Under the program, 44 different products are eligible for diversion from landfill through a network of recycling and reuse partners who have met specific standards under the program and are monitored on a regular basis. 

The program includes multiple phases. The Phase 1 Plan addressed desktop and portable computers, computer peripherals, monitors, printers, fax machines and televisions, and was launched on April 1, 2009. The approved Revised (Phase 1 and 2) Plan addresses additional materials such as phones, cameras and audiovisual equipment, and will commence on April 1, 2010.
