>responsibility" issues, helping companies cope with a patchwork of 
>"takeback" laws in 30 countries. For example, two electronics directives 
>now moving in the European Parliament will require manufacturers to 
>guarantee recycling of products ranging from computers to toasters to 
>medical equipment in 15 countries.  In addition, a sister directive will 
>require a multi-billion-dollar re-design of electronic circuit boards and 
>housings.

>speakers, covering Europe, Asia and Latin America.  The speakers will 
>cover domestic and international packaging and electronics recycling 
>issues, as well as some case histories from major companies. The Day 2 
>plenary debate will look at the controversial plastics collection dilemma, 
>including deposits. Another session will feature new technical solutions 
>to recycling problems.
>
>Attendees to Take it Back! 2002 will have free admittance to all Expo 
>events, including the show floor, the party, and the Private Label 
>University events.

>Sponsorships and a few speaking slots to Take it Back! are still 
>open.  Sponsors receive exposure in both TIB and Expo promotions, and two 
>booths. The expo generally draws several thousand packaging and contract 
>manufacturing decision-makers. Take it Back! attracts environmental 
>decision-makers from top manufacturers, and government recycling managers.
