The Third National Product Stewardship Forum - May 30-31, 2007


San Francisco, California, at the Hyatt at Fisherman's Wharf


Join representatives from industry, government, and environmental groups
from the U.S, Canada, and abroad. Share your experiences and participate in
interactive discussions that seek better ways to reduce the health and
environmental impacts from consumer products.


Please see the PSI website at: http://www.productstewardship.us/2007Forum

opportunities.


Sessions will explore:


Various motivational forces for taking action on product stewardship –
including shareholder resolutions, spiritual/ethical considerations, and
basic business aspects, including financial savings, reduced regulation,
customer loyalty, and competitive advantage.


Connections between chemicals policy and product stewardship.


International product stewardship programs from a corporate responsibility
perspective.


Issues involved in advancing a national or state/regional strategy on
pharmaceuticals, and overviews of key product stewardship initiatives on
electronics, paint, mercury thermostats, auto switches, phone books, and
compact fluorescent lamps.


The emergence of regional product stewardship council efforts in
California, the Midwest, and the Northeast, and the lessons they can learn
from existing networks.



The Annual PSI Membership Meeting will be held the evening before the Forum
on May 29th, from 4 to 6 pm. All are invited to attend, including
non-members.
