Questions about Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) • What EPR programs already exist outside the US that we can model? • How are EPR Take Back programs different than other HHW programs? • How has EPR evolved in California? • What has been learned from EPR efforts in California so far? • What models can my community use? • What is EPR Framework Legislation and why should we care? • What more can we each do to accelerate implementation of EPR programs?

  5. Excerpt from presentation by Rob Koppejan, Philips Lighting and Christoph Rautenfeld, OSRAM at the CIWMB in April 2008 Clear Responsibilities of each Stakeholder required Producers: Support the setup of CRSOs, transfer waste fee Consumers: Return of end-of-life products, payment of compliance costs/fee Distribution: Take back end-of-life products Municipalities: Provide municipal collection sites Recyclers: Comply with recycling requirement CRSO: Organize efficient and sustainable organization, inform stakeholders Governments: Define stakeholder responsibilities, ensure level playing field NGO’s: Increase awareness

European legal framework for batteries New Battery Directive (2006/66) • Marking: (1) Crossed-out dustbin (2) Chemical symbol (3) Capacity marking on portable and automotive batteries • Financing: No visible fee to end-users visible fee on invoice level will be possible • Specific recycling targets: - recycle 65% of contents of lead –acid batteries, - recycle 75% of contents of nickel cadmium batteries, - recycle 50% of contents of other batteries on average. Member States have until 26 September 2008 to transpose the new Directive into national law Excerpted from presentation by Hans Craen European Portable Battery Association, April 2008

  11. EPR Pilot Programs under HD17F Tuolumne County • Two sites; In-store Take Back for fluorescents and batteries • Provided: • Tech support • Promotions, surveys • Pre-paid containers for 5 months Retailers continue program at their own expense. Surveys indicated program very popular with staff and customers

  12. EPR Pilot Programs under HD17F Del Norte County • All household Battery Take Back • 28 locations – now most convenient material to recycle in Del Norte County (933% increase) • First ‘Tape a Terminal’ outreach • Recovery: ~1000 lb/yr for community of 29,100 • Still, only 3-5% of estimated annual battery sales

  13. EPR Moving Forward • ONLY strategy with potential for >20% recovery of most U-wastes in California • Only viable approach from fiscal cost containment and/or environmental perspective, technical issues aside • Essential to Green Chemistry Initiative • HD18F: More Outreach, Business Awards, & models for MORE LOCAL ACTION, like… • HHWE update with EPR policies as central programs addressing materials banned from disposal after 1995 • Local actions and partnerships on sharps • AB283 (Chesbro) EPR Framework Legislation in play needs your support soon – Get ready now
