Local EPR Resolutions
A critical step in the transition to EPR-based recycling is issuing, through a resolution or ordinance, a declaration that the jurisdiction aims to start phasing out the provision of end-of-life product management services that are free to the makers of toxic and disposable products. Local EPR resolutions may:
- Establish a preference for take-back provisions in purchasing contracts;
- Specify a range of problem products to investigate for local actions; and
- Call on state government to pass producer responsibility legislation -- and ultimately EPR Framework.
