What is Product Stewardship?“Product Stewardship" is a principle that directs all those involved in the life cycle of a product to take shared responsibility for reducing the health and environmental impacts that result from the production, use, and end-of-life management of the product.

Another tool in the toolbox….

Research (10/02 – 9/03) – 1 year Technical Research Document Paint Stewardship Action Plan

Dialogue (12/03 – 9/04) – 9 months 4 meetings Numerous workgroup conference calls

Project Implementation (4/05 – 10/07) – 18 months Designing a nationally coordinated paint management

system (10/07-4/08)

Setting the Stage Before and Through The Initial Meeting “Venting” calls for government and industry prior to

face-to-face meeting Gaining Trust

Meeting design Room, location, participant seating Participant contact pre-meeting

PSI’s “agenda” Stakeholder roles

Page 11: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 11

Dialogue Group Focused On: Post-consumer leftover paint - latex and oil-

based Retail surplus paint Not on post-industrial paint waste

Page 12: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 12

During the Dialogue We Get Agreement on…

Problem Statement Goals Key Issues Strategies (potential solutions)

Page 13: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 13

How Do We Develop a Problem Statement and Dialogue Goals?

Draft Problem Statement and Goals from the Project Summary developed by PSI

Interview willing stakeholders (37) Made changes after each interview Draft Action Plan/commentsWe don’t control the outcome – the participants do!

Page 14: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 14

What Do You Mean You Don’t Control the Outcome?????

If we knew all the answers and there was a

predetermined outcome, why waste time in a

dialogue?

Page 15: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 15

Why is Paint a Problem? High volume Significant cost to government to manage Can contain low levels of VOCs, fungicides and hazardous

metals (in very old paint) Lack of infrastructure for recovery, reuse, recycling Lack of markets for recycled paint

Paint is a problem based on the volume, cost to manage, and high potential for increased recovery, reuse and recycling.

Page 16: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 16

The Primary Goal Is To Develop Initiatives That Result In:

Reduced paint waste; Efficient collection, reuse, and recycling of

leftover paint; Increased markets for recycled paint; and Develop a sustainable financing system to

cover end-of-life management costs.

Page 17: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 17

Secondary Goals Are To… Decrease improper disposal of paint Attain the highest value for surplus paint Improve container collection and

recycling Reduce paint toxicity

Page 18: Heidi Sanborn, Project Manager

CRRA ConferenceLos Angeles, CA 18

Dialogue Strategy Identified 10 key issues and 37 potential solutions Prioritized and ranked key issues Discussed at meetings EXAMPLE: Key Issue - Leftover Paint
