Members of the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection(Product Stewardship) advisory commission conducted routine business, approved a recommendation on battery stewardship to send toward the legislature, and held extended discussion and outside presentations on extended producer responsibility (EPR) for electronics and packaging. Presenters from Circular Action Alliance and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency described lessons from other states and recommended timelines and sequencing (including delaying ecomodulation until data are available). Commissioners and stakeholders pressed for a formal needs assessment and cost analysis before advancing packaging EPR; the commission did not adopt packaging legislation at this meeting.
