Collectors Role
At the heart of SOGHU’s program we find incentives (Return Incentives or RIs) to collectors, according to the different zones in the province of Quebec. The financing of these subsidies comes from the (Environmental Handling Charges) EHCs paid by members on their sales occured in Quebec of the products covered by the Regulation.
