Voluntary Stewardship
• Voluntary• Producers internalize costs in product price,
manage fund, program and operations• Low collection rate as compared to sales• Supported by:
– Landfill ban – Mandatory retailer collection– Market value of metals– Industry driven
Rechargeable Battery Recycling Corporation
• Voluntary financing, internalized costs• Producers manage fund, program and
operations• 100 million lbs collected since 1992• Major problem:
– free-riders
APPROVED
2008 Legislation
• SB 1723 – Ag Pesticide Containers EPR
