It is a core value of the CIWMB that producers assume the responsibility for the safe stewardship of their materials in order to promote environmental sustainability.
Specifically, the CIWMB will:
- Utilize existing Board authority to foster “cradle-to-cradle” producer responsibility.
- Seek statutory authority to foster “cradle-to-cradle” producer responsibility.
- Analyze the feasibility of various approaches to increasing producer responsibility, including during the product design and packaging phases, and make recommendations to the CIWMB Board by December 2007, and annually thereafter.
- Build capacity and knowledge in CIWMB on Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) issues and solutions.
- Develop and maintain relationships with stakeholders that result in producer-financed and producer-managed systems for product discards
