Who remits the EHC when products move between two or more Interchange Recycling members?
When a product moves between two or more Interchange Recycling members, it is not always clear who will be responsible for remitting the EHC. Don’t assume the required EHC is being remitted by another Interchange Recycling member in your supply chain. To ensure the EHC is accounted for and remitted, and to avoid misunderstandings, Interchange Recycling members should document their EHC remittance arrangements in writing.
