Current pattern in waste management

Current pattern in waste management Local Governments bear brunt of management – especially for household wastes. Small levels of support from state government; even smaller from the federal level. Manufacturers, Retailers, etc., provide almost no support. Complexity and size of waste stream increasing. As new products appear, “new” waste streams also appear over time. Larger, more affluent communities tend to be better able to run programs for special waste (e.g., HHW).

Current pattern in waste management
Local Governments bear brunt of management – especially for household wastes.
Small levels of support from state government; even smaller from the federal level.
Manufacturers, Retailers, etc., provide almost no support.Complexity and size of waste stream increasing.As new products appear, “new” waste streams also appear
over time.Larger, more affluent communities tend to be better able to
run programs for special waste (e.g., HHW).

Are diversion programs “necessary?”Who will be responsible?What are the recovery options? Which are
the best?How much will it cost?Who will pay?

FACTS AND FIGURES
Time for a change?Time for a change?
Should local governments be solely responsible – financially and logistically – for electronics recovery?
Is there merit in working to change the old patterns?
What specific means are available to local (and state) governments to change the pattern?
Idea of Product Stewardship
Idea of Product Stewardship
Environmental impacts should be carefully managed from production through disposal.
Industry, in particular, should exercise greater responsibility and play a greater role in end-of-life issues.
European initiatives (e.g., German packaging laws) have formalized industry responsibility.
Related ideas: Extended Producer Responsibility, product take-backs, design-for-environment, etc.

Primary Mission of the Product Stewardship
Institute
Primary Mission of the Product Stewardship
InstituteThe Product Stewardship Institute assists
state and local government agencies in establishing cooperative agreements with industry and developing other initiatives that reduce the health and environmental impacts from consumer products.
Secondary Mission of the
Product Stewardship Institute
Secondary Mission of the
Product Stewardship Institute
The Institute seeks out the active input from, and cooperates with, environmental groups, business interests, academic institutions, the federal government, and related organizations to achieve product stewardship goals.
PrinciplesPrinciplesResponsibility
Should be shared among industry, government, and consumersThe greater the ability to minimize impact, the great the
responsibility for addressing impactsInternalizing costs
All health and environmental impacts should be included in the total product cost
Costs should be minimized to local and state governments (and shifted of manufacturers and consumers)
Manufacturers should have direct financial incentive to redesign products to reduce costs
Principles (continued)Principles (continued)Incentives for Cleaner Products and Sustainability
PS policies should create manufacturer incentives toward cleaner design, less energy use, less waste, and participation in recovery.
Flexible Management StrategiesThose responsible for reducing environmental impacts of products
should be given flexibility but be measured against goals.Roles and Relationships
Industry should provide leadership in realizing these principlesGovernment should lead through procurement practices, technical
assistance, addressing regulatory barriers, and other actions.
