Abstract/summary

This case study supports responsibilities of the Department of Resources Recycling and Recovery (CalRecycle, formerly known as the California Integrated Waste Management Board) under the California Air Resources Board Scoping Plan to address greenhouse gas emissions through an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) approach.
