Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA) acts on behalf of the province to oversee end-of-life processing of electronics, paint, tires, and used oil materials. They are also the administrative and oversight authority for extended producer responsibility (EPR).

Their industry is rooted in the principles of a circular economy where resources and products are kept in use for as long as possible, and regenerated into new products and materials at the end of their earlier life cycle.
