Editor's Notes
- 80 US EPR laws in 2013, plus 10 deposit laws.
- In 2000, there were 8 EPR laws in 7 states (all were older battery laws with some element of producer responsibility - Maryland had one law for mercuric oxide button cell batteries and one law for rechargables)
- 90 EPR laws in the U.S.
- Note: This chart presents available data on program performance, but does not provide an “apples to apples” comparison as the covered products and covered entities (e.g., residents, businesses, schools, etc.) vary from state to state.
- Increase in E-Scrap recycled Waste reduction Toxins properly managed Expansion of collection networks, including retail take-back Cost savings to local governments
- Performance goals not keeping pace with volumes collected Manufacturer programs not covering the full cost of recycling – especially CRTs Recyclers squeezed between two customers needs – manufacturers & local governments Local governments facing unanticipated and significant costs Collection networks contracting
- neither are ideal MA is in a great position to learn from other states
- convenience standards that ensure year round collection central coordination structure
