12 4. Data updates Characterization study Four-part municipal waste characterization study (ÉEQ and RECYC-QUÉBEC) Focus Period Expected results Residential Recovery rates per material Composition of materials (curbside recycling and waste) Industrial, commercial and institutional organizations 2016 Service profile (2016) Completed with a survey filled out by ICIs in Québec (ÉEQ study) fall 2017 Away from home 2016 Recovery rate per material Composition of materials (curbside recycling and waste) Sorting centres 2017 Composition of materials entering sorting centres 12

13 Activity Based Costing (ABC) Model Updated in 2017 by ÉEQ and RECYC-QUÉBEC Two objectives: 1. Allocate municipal net costs to the three classes of materials In anticipation of publication by the Québec government 2. Determine the net cost per material 13

14 2018 Schedule of Contributions Parameters 14

15 Establishing the 2018 SoC All parameters were updated for the 2018 SoC Parameters 1. Municipal net costs X 2. ÉEQ fees and other provisions X 3. Cost allocation between the three classes of materials (ABC study) X 4. Expected quantities reported by companies X 5. Recovery rate (characterization study) X 6. Net cost of materials (ABC study) X 15

16 1. Municipal net costs The 2018 SoC compensates the net efficient and effective costs of municipal curbside collection programs in the 2017 calendar year These costs for 2017 are unknown and must therefore be estimated Estimating the share of costs eligible for compensation by ÉEQ 1. Estimate the 2017 system costs 2. Add the QST paid by municipalities 3. Deduct the materials that are not designated (determined by decree) 4. Estimate the deduction for the performance and efficiency (P&E) factor 5. Apply the share of the costs to each materials category (determined by order) 16

17 Estimate of 2017 system costs Estimate system costs for the 2017 calendar year: $146.5M (+1.3%) Estimate based on actual curbside recycling system costs in recent years and anticipated market revenues 17

18 Performance and efficiency (P&E) factor The P&E factor makes it possible to deduct part of the net costs compensated to the least efficient municipalities The P&E factor deduction has been stable since 2014 Estimated deduction of 4.5% for

19 Municipal costs eligible for compensation (collection, transport, sorting and conditioning) Estimated costs for the 2018 SoC lower than those for the 2017 SoC Municipal net costs excluding taxes $151.6M $146.5M Québec sales tax (QST) $7.2M $7.0M Estimated municipal net costs $158.8M $153.5M Deduction for non-designated materials (-6.6%) 2017 SoC 2018 SoC $(10.5)M $(10.1)M Deduction for P&E factor(-4.5%) $(5.9)M $(6.4)M Municipal management fees (8.55%) $12.2M $11.7M Municipal net costs eligible for compensation $154.6M $148.6M Variation % - 3.9% 19

20 2. ÉEQ expenses and other provisions Support ÉEQ s projects and activities in connection with the value chain ÉEQ expenses $5.5M $6.0M RECYC-QUÉBEC indemnity $2.7M $2.7M Bad debt provision $3.0M $2.9M Anticipated reports low-volume producers $(1.3)M $(1.3)M Other costs total $9.9M $10.3M Variation + 0.2% + 4.0% Innovative Glass Works plan* $0M $2M * Exclusively funded by the glass category 2017 SoC 2018 SoC 20

21 3. Costs allocated to three classes of materials The allocation was updated based on the findings of the Acitivty based costing study Increase in collection- and transport-related costs Printed matter most impacted by these costs Class of materials ACA 2013 ( SoC) ACA 2016 (2018- SoC ) Newspaper 8.7% 8.3% Printed matter 19.4% 20.9% Containers and packaging 71.9% 70.8% Total ÉEQ share 91.3% 91.7% 21

23 4. Expected reported quantities The expected reported quantities for the 2018 SoC are those placed on the market in Québec in 2017 Overall increase as compared to the 2017 SoC 655 kt vs. 639 kt (+2.5%) Decrease for printed matter 150 kt vs. 153 kt (-1.9%) 23

24 Integration of CP&PM products: increase in expected reported quantities Expand the materials subject to a fee to reduce the average rate (-1.1%) The new quantities of materials subject to a fee are mainly fibers 24

25 5. Residential recovery rate: results Overall average rate of 63.6% Recovery rates relatively stable for all materials Slight impact on the SoC Detailed results available on our website 25

26 6. Net material costs: updated with the 2016 ABC Varied results from one material to the next Collection costs (up overall) Sorting costs (based on equipment and labour per materials) Sales revenue from materials (based on outlets and markets) 26

32 Rates Paper/cardboard Overall decrease in the rates for fiber containers and packaging 32

33 Rates Plastics of rate for the majority of plastics HDPE bottles : major in revenues Polystyrene: of quantities for Non-expanded PS -> Increase in average rate 33

34 Rate Aluminium Increased rates for aluminium reported quantities in the other containers category, which has a low recovery rate and a higher net cost 34

35 Rate Steel Increase in the rates for steel in the net cost of the material (ACA) 35

36 Rate Glass Reduction in the rate despite $2M in funding from the Innovative Glass Works plan recovery rate Cost improvement for the materials (ACA) 36

37 Low-volume producers No change to low-volume producers flat fee eligibility Flat fees remain the same Tonnage generated criterion Turnover criterion 2017 SoC 2018 SoC 1 to 2.5 tonnes $420 $ to 5 tonnes $890 $890 5 to 10 tonnes $1 775 $ to 15 tonnes $1M to $2M $2 965 $

38 Impact on companies 82% of companies have a lower bill 5% will experience an increase of less than 4% 13% will experience an increase of between 4 and 8% 38

39 Broadening materials subject to a fee Shoft-life containers and packaging and printed matter sold as products 39

40 More materials, more contributors, more equity: broadening to reduce The broadening targets two types of materials Costs compensated Coûts compensés 141,1 M$ 136,3 M$ Containers, packaging and printed matter subject to a fee Short-life containers, packaging and printed matter sold as products* Printed matter sold as products* * Materials designated under the Regulation but excluded from earlier SoCs

41 Equity and coherence: broadening to reduce Total costs / reported quantities = rates higher quantities = lower rates Sharing the same costs over a higher number of designated materials and contributing companies The total amount of the compensation will not increase The provenance of the contributions will be allocated differently $136.3M 41
