Research Studies on Product Stewardship |
- Framework for Evaluating End-of-Life Product Management Systems in California
CalRecycle Publication DRRR-2010-013
This report was commissioned in June 2006 by the CIWMB (now CalRecycle). The report is intended to identify financing options for a variety of u-waste products such as batteries, lamps and paint, and provide recommendations on End-of-Life models that would have the best chance of achieving long term sustainability.
- Materials Management and Climate Change Toolkit
You already know that reducing, reusing, and recycling conserves resources, avoids landfilling/ incineration, and creates jobs. But did you know the materials and food are responsible for approximately 42% of domestic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? Extracting resources, processing materials, manufacturing, and transporting goods and food contribute significantly to climate change. Luckily there is an opportunity to integrate recycling, composting, and other conservation practices into climate planning. This new toolkit provides resources to integrate material conservation into your community’s GHG inventory and climate action planning. Your participation can make significant climate actions in this little known field.
- Product Stewardship in North America and Europe June 2009
