The Product Stewardship Institute (PSI) announces its first series of

informative.  If there are others that you believe could also benefit
from participating in these calls (local governments, HHW officials,
industry representatives, and others), please pass this invitation along
to them.

CERC is a not-for-profit public policy trade association representing
Best Buy, Circuit City, Radio Shack, Target, Tweeter, Wal-Mart, the

Association, and the National Retail Federation. CERC has developed a

HP's Product Stewardship Solution to Electronics Recycling - David
Isaacs, Director of Government and Public Policy; and Renee St. Denis,
Director of Product Recycling Solutions for the Americas
(Hewlett-Packard Company)
Wednesday, September 14, 2005, 2:00 - 3:30 PM, EST

Hewlett-Packard's Product Stewardship Solution is based on implementing
a market driven system for recycling CRT devices.  The approach requires
manufacturers to take responsibility for the recycling of a specified
amount of CRT devices, either by implementing a recycling program or by
assuming financial responsibility for this amount, thereby minimizing
the burden currently resting on states, local governments, and
retailers.
