Council of State Governments E-Waste Resolution (PDF file, 40KB). December 3, 2006.
The Council of State Governments supports coordinated electronics producer responsibility policies. The Midwest environmental agencies, including Illinois, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota, collaborated to develop a policy statement on e-waste to promote harmonized programs in the Midwest. The resolution encourages the Midwest states to follow the policy when developing their e-waste legislation. A unified legislative approach would promote a level playing field for manufacturers, avoid a patchwork quilt of laws and regulations, and avoid increased management and compliance costs among governments and businesses.
