For an Electronic Product Stewardship Third-Party Organization (TPO)
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This Third Party Organization (TPO) Business Plan outlines an organizational structure and a mechanism for delivering waste management services for waste electronic products (ewaste) in the states of Oregon and Washington. Project participants hope that these findings could apply in other multi-state situations as well. To illustrate how a TPO could provide practical value on a business and policy basis, a Steering Committee of electronics manufacturers developed this Conceptual Business Plan based on a set of key assumptions about TPO responsibilities and the broader, legislated electronics recycling system. This Plan was produced as part of the larger
