There are three main reasons why King County is interested in promoting product stewardship: 1) Reducing the cost to local government of waste disposal 2) Reducing product toxicity 3) Increasing resource conservation Product stewardship provides a way to reduce the potential cost to our ratepayers for handling the cost of spent products by placing more responsibility on manufacturers to design products that can be disassembled for recycling and to give forethought into how spent products should be collected.
