Notice from ELG: Amendment to the Designated Materials Regulation
This notice is to advise you that New Brunswick’s Department of Environment and Local Government has posted draft amendments to the Designated Materials Regulation – Clean Environment Act (N.B. Regulation 2024-37). These amendments relate to the modernization of New Brunswick’s tire recycling program, which currently manages end‑of‑life passenger and truck tires.
The intent of the tire recycling program modernization is to convert the program to the nationally recognized extended producer responsibility model and expand the program to include off-the-road tires.
Consistent with Government’s policy on regulatory transparency, your organization is being advised of these draft amendments. These can be found online at Public Review of Draft Regulations (see link)
The draft amendments will be posted for public comment until September 2, 2026. Please submit any feedback to WD-RD@gnb.ca.
If you have any questions or would like to set up a meeting to discuss the draft amendments to the Designated Materials Regulation, please feel free to contact me at mark.miller@gnb.ca or (506) 453-6329.
Thank you

Climate change worsens wildfire conditions in Michigan
Michigan Public
“What we really need to do is work together as two countries, not just to manage forests better, fight fires better, but to fight climate change together,” he said. “That’s the big reason this is happening in Canada and the US and unless we do this together, climate change will get worse and the fires will get worse.” - Jonathan Overpeck, dean of the school for Environment and Sustainability at the University of Michigan and a climate researcher
