  California Product Stewardship
 

As testimony to the Regional Council of Rural Counties' commitment to environmental stewardship, the RCRC Board of Directors adopted the following policy on March 21, 2007:

 

"RCRC supports producer responsibility for financing and arranging the collection and recycling of their products at end-of-life.  Producer responsibility removed the financial burden from local governments and makes recycling become a cost of doing business.  Placing the responsibility with manufacturers/retailers will additionally provide incentive for products to be redesigned in a manner to eliminate or reduce their impact and to increase their recyclability.  RCRC prefers producer responsibility through product take-back by the manufacturers/retailers.  RCRC will consider the reasonable use of Advanced Recycling Fees and Advanced Disposal Fees."

 

In line with this pledge, the ESJPA signed a Letter of Agreement with the California Product Stewardship Council (CPSC) on August 16, 2007.

 

No Workshops are scheduled at the time.  Please check back often for updates.
