ERCC Workshop at E-Scrap 2014

On 10/21/14, ERCC held a workshop titled  “Ensuring Transparency and Sustainability under State Electronics Recycling Law Programs” before the E-Scrap 2014 conference.

This workshop, discussed two key topics regarding the implementation of legislated state electronics recycling programs. First, how can state programs ensure transparency, particularly with recyclers and their downstream vendors?  A panel of experts including a manufacturer, recycler, regulator, auditor, provided their perspectives on what transparent recycling means to them and how the material should be tracked downstream to open markets.  For the second half, ERCC moderated a discussion on program sustainability and ensuring the long term sustainability of programs under state electronics recycling laws.  For a recap of the discussion, please see the workshop notes.
