This report recommends that Oregon pursue product stewardship as a strategy to reduce the environmental and public health impacts of products. It also recommends eight key elements for product stewardship programs and policy in Oregon. This report will help guide product stewardship policy and program development for the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality and may provide a similar resource for local governments, solid waste, environmental and public health interests, industry and other partners. To help inform this report and broaden understanding of principles and issues surrounding product stewardship, DEQ in collaboration with Metro convened the Oregon Product Stewardship Stakeholder Group, which met throughout 2010. The group included representatives of manufacturers, retailers, recyclers, waste collectors and disposal facilities, environmental advocacy organizations, and state, local and tribal government representatives.1 Although group discussions helped develop recommendations in this report, the final recommendations are DEQ’s.
