How Does WR3A Enforce Standards?
Unlike stewardship programs based on “pledges”, “promises”, and “goals”, WR3A is based on civil law, or contracts. Our members believe that contracts and lawsuits are easier to enforce than international law. Our preference is to sign up companies already doing business under state or national contract, such as California, Massachusetts, or Maine, when the contract has environmental performance and reuse measures. When those companies violate the contract, we can call the state Attorney General’s Office.
