[greenyes] SWANA Supports Producer Responsibility for E-Waste

["Peter Anderson" <anderson@no.address>]

The Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) has endorsed producer 
responsibility for e-waste, to prevent the cost of properly managing 
discarded computers and televisions from becoming a new financial burden on 
municipalities.

    "Producer responsibility financing policies create a strong incentive 
for changes to products that keep environmental at the forefront of 
consideration during production and these policies can leverage 
private-sector efficiency to re-capture the most value from end-of-life 
electronics," SWANA President John Skinner is reported to have stated.
