11:15 AM Extended Producer Responsibility: A Vision for the Future

Heidi Sanborn , Executive Director, California Product Stewardship Council

There is a National movement towards Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), is a government strategy to place the responsibility for end of life product management on the producer and consumers of a product and not the general taxpayer or local government. California is one of the states leading the pack in EPR laws. This session explores:
  • Profitable partnerships- forming a National product stewardship e-waste policy that benefits producers, consumers, taxpayers, the environment and the economy
  • The CA Electronic Waste Recycling Act- established a funding mechanism to improve and provide for the proper end-of-life management of certain hazardous electronic products funded through a fee paid by consumers at the time of retail purchase
  • The more current data and information on International EPR systems

12:00 PM Case Study: LCD Manufacturer

Gail Zuro , Project Coordinator Quality of E-Waste, Planar Systems

  • Compliance with electronic waste regulations often poses greater challenges to small manufacturers than to multinational corporations. Budgets and resources are harder to come by and there is more competition with other environmental compliance activities.  This session will detail some of these challenges and what internal organizations and tools can be capitalized to minimize them when possible.  There will also be an opportunity to discuss participants’ strategies and best practices which could prove beneficial as more states move toward their own legislation and more overall compliance legislation comes in effect.
