In a March 27, 2018 CBC News article, Allen Langdon, Recycle BC's managing director, said:
"managing the entire province's recycling on a system-wide basis — instead of via individual municipalities — and working directly with packaging producers is the only practical way to deal with the speed at which packaging and the markets for recyclables are changing.
The current system of managing recycling is not working, and anyone that thinks it's going to continue to work that way is not keeping up with where the trends are going."
