Dozens of local governments have pledged their support to the CPSC Mission: To shift California’s product waste management system from one focused on government funded and ratepayer financed waste diversion to one that relies on producer responsibility in order to reduce public costs and drive improvements in product design that promote environmental sustainability. By partnering with producers, we focus on the part of the supply chain where products are designed and manufactured. We believe that by making better choices in the early stages of a product’s life, we can reduce the environmental impact of product waste. By diverting products from the waste stream, we conserve our natural resources and ultimately reduce the demand on our landfills. The CPSC’s goal is to align public and private sectors through information, advocacy and legislation to ensure ongoing product responsibility from design to disposal. See less
