Environmental Handling Fee (EHF)

EPRA-Québec is funded through Environmental Handling Fees (EHF) that are applied on the cost of all new electronic products. It’s not a tax, nor is it a refundable deposit. The EHF on each item in the program is based on the cost to manage and recycle the materials contained in the product as well as the cost of collection, transportation and administration (includes education, awareness, and audits).
