The document discusses the environmental impacts of consumer products and packaging waste. It notes that Americans throw away about 1,600 pounds of trash per year, which requires extracting more resources to produce new products. Some waste contains toxic substances or poses other issues. Currently, local governments bear most costs of waste management. The document proposes product stewardship and extended producer responsibility as solutions. Under these approaches, manufacturers take greater responsibility for designing sustainable products and setting up collection/recycling programs to reduce impacts.
The document discusses the environmental and health impacts of consumer products and packaging waste. It notes that Americans throw away about 1,600 pounds of trash per year, and current systems provide little incentive for companies to design more sustainable products. The solution proposed is product stewardship, where all entities in a product's life cycle take responsibility for its impacts. This includes extended producer responsibility programs, where manufacturers set up collection programs for post-consumer products. EPR is already mandated for some products in over 60 state laws. The document advocates for more EPR programs and other product stewardship strategies.
The document discusses product stewardship and extended producer responsibility (EPR). It defines product stewardship as all involved in a product's lifecycle taking responsibility for its environmental and health impacts. EPR asks manufacturers who design, make, and sell products to take greatest responsibility, including setting up collection programs. This shifts the burden of collection from local governments and incentivizes greener product design. Several mandatory and voluntary EPR initiatives already exist in some states and countries. The document advocates maximizing existing voluntary programs and notes other strategies like retailers collecting products and consumers choosing greener options to promote product stewardship.
The document discusses the problems posed by the unintended impacts of consumer products and packaging, noting that products are often designed to become obsolete quickly, there are no incentives for companies to create longer-lasting or more easily recyclable products, and Americans throw away about 1,600 pounds of trash per year. It also explains that the current system relies on extracting new resources and results in toxic substances and other problems entering the waste stream, costing taxpayers millions to manage hazardous waste.
The document discusses how the current system provides little incentive for companies to design more sustainable products. It notes that Americans throw away about 1,600 pounds of trash per year, consisting of products and packaging. When materials are disposed of instead of recycled, more virgin resources must be extracted to make new products, consuming energy and causing environmental impacts. Some products also contain toxins or pose other issues when disposed of as waste. The document concludes that governments spend millions managing waste but cannot solve the problem of problematic product and packaging waste alone without help from other groups.
This presentation discusses product stewardship and extended producer responsibility. It argues that those who design, make, and sell products should take responsibility for the environmental impacts of a product throughout its lifecycle, including after sale. It outlines how extended producer responsibility shifts the burden of collection from local governments to manufacturers by requiring them to set up take-back programs. The presentation notes some voluntary and legislative examples of extended producer responsibility in the US. It concludes that there are multiple strategies along the product lifecycle that different groups can implement to promote product stewardship.

The Potential of One-to-One Marketing: Applying Behavioral Economics to Inspi...Sustainable Brands
Getting Americans to curb their electricity usage is one of the best things we can do for the environment. But it's hard. Our energy consumption is an automatic behavior, we don't experience the immediate 'pain of paying,' and each of us is motivated by slightly different reasons to conserve. At the same time, most energy efficiency marketing talks to us as if we're all the same. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to nudging Americans to use less energy — it takes a segmented, prescriptive approach. Suzanne Shelton will share her firm's solution and initial results — leveraging consumer segmentation to craft one-to-one marketing that taps into the right motivations for each consumer type and recommends the right actions. The model applies beyond energy efficiency and could easily work for water conservation, recycling and waste reduction.
1. Hotels are implementing sustainable development principles like using green energy, reducing water usage, using eco-friendly light bulbs, separating trash for recycling.

It seeks to identify current product stewardship activities and establish a baseline for building future programs. Nebraska already has collection services for items like batteries, thermostats, lamps, electronics, and tires through various programs supported by local governments and organizations.
Product stewardship creates jobs by establishing a cyclical system to reuse materials through collecting, sorting, refurbishing and recycling processes. It generates over 10 times as many jobs as disposing of goods in landfills. Adopting more sustainable business practices, like product stewardship, can spur innovation and economic opportunities in industries like packaging and electronics recycling. Product stewardship also saves governments and taxpayers money by shifting costs of managing household hazardous waste away from municipalities, as Nebraska spends an estimated $2 million annually on these services. Under an extended producer responsibility model, Nebraska could see up to $13.5 million in annual financial benefits from improved collection of items like electronics, paint, batteries and more.

The document outlines the principles of product stewardship developed by the Product Stewardship Institute to guide state and local agencies. The principles state that manufacturers should be responsible for reducing a product's entire lifecycle impacts through design and end-of-life management. Manufacturers should internalize all product costs so they have incentives to design more sustainable products. Policies should also incentivize collection and recycling systems. Responsible parties should have flexibility in how they address impacts, with performance measured by achieving goals. Industry, government, and consumers all have roles to play under these principles.

The document discusses how to communicate sustainability efforts without "greenwashing" through verification, measurement, and reporting. It outlines common "sins of greenwashing" like hidden trade-offs or lack of proof. Verification by independent third parties helps prove compliance with standards through labels or endorsements. Regular measurement is important to evaluate progress using indicators. Reporting tools like GRI and ISO 14001 standards can help with transparency if used to show a whole systems perspective. The best approach is to take meaningful sustainability actions and then discuss accomplishments through sound monitoring and reporting.

Handprinting refers to quantifying the positive consequence of a company or organization, its products or services and how it relates with all its stakeholders. The goal for an organization that engages in measuring its handprint isn't simply to minimize its negative impact, but to maximize its positive influence while enhancing operational efficiency and profitability, and to pursue net-positive sustainability in which its handprint exceeds its footprint. Join this session for a crash course on reimagining how a brand measures the success of its sustainability initiatives.
The document provides an overview of starting a sustainable business. It defines a sustainable business as having a triple bottom line of people, profit, and planet. It recommends conducting an audit to understand one's current sustainability practices and developing sustainable products using systems thinking. It emphasizes partnering with sustainable suppliers and implementing sustainable practices across governance, employees, environment, supply chain, and social responsibility once a business is running. Certification frameworks can help businesses achieve sustainability goals.
