Stewardship Law: A Model for Public/Private Collaboration<br>
Thursday, October 22nd, 2009<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Oregon’s first-in-the-nation paint stewardship law
will dramatically reduce the environmental impact of unused paint and could
potentially result in up to $6 million annually in cost savings for local
governments. The program is the result of a national agreement
facilitated by PSI, which convened paint manufacturers, retailers, contractors,
recyclers, and government officials to jointly develop a solution that is
environmentally sound and economically efficient. On this call, parties
to this agreement will provide an overview of how the Oregon law addresses
paint source reduction, reuse, recycling, infrastructure development, retail
collection, and program evaluation. They will discuss how the dialogue
process developed legislation that was endorsed by all stakeholders, and share
plans to roll out this approach to other states to address leftover paint as
well as other products.<o:p></o:p></p>
