How will the program impact manufacturers of these products?
Potential Legal Obligations:
Manufacturers of lamps, ballasts and fixtures may be classified as a legally obligated producer, depending on the nature of their supply chain. See the questions above for the definition of a producer and discussion on the obligations of producers and members of the program.
Eco-Fees:
Manufacturers will need to join the program as members to report their BC sales/remit fees to Product Care unless each of their downstream customers in BC have agreed to fulfill this responsibility. See the questions above for details on these fees, how they will affect those in the supply chain, and how they will be reported.
