Product Stewardship Resources

A selection of product stewardship resources are provided for county and municipal staff to aid in the advancement of product stewardship in Minnesota. Product stewardship means that all parties involved in designing, manufacturing, selling, and using a product share in the financial and physical responsibility for collecting and recycling products at the end of their useful lives.

Product Stewardship Support Framework

On January 27, 2010, the SWMCB adopted a Product Stewardship Resolution urging the Minnesota Legislature to adopt a product stewardship framework and encouraging the SWMCB members and other jurisdictions to adopt similar resolutions.

The below resources are provided for your use in passing a resolution of support for a product stewardship framework. Resources include a resolution template, copy of the SWMCB resolution as adopted on January 27, 2010, and a memo to SWMCB counties with additional information.
