2009 Strategic Directives

SD-5: Producer Responsibility

This page provides information on the CIWMB's Strategic Directive 5 (SD-5). The baseline measurement, metrics or performance criteria, annual targets, and key activities for each subdirective are being developed and will be posted on this page in November 2009.

Directive
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:

• 5.1--Utilize existing Board authority to foster "cradle-to-cradle" producer responsibility.
• 5.2--Seek statutory authority to implement the Extended Producer Responsibility Framework adopted by the Board in January 2008.
• 5.3--Develop and maintain relationships with stakeholders, including the public and other interested parties, that result in producer-financed and producer-managed systems for product discards.
