Recommendation IND 13 — Support product stewardship legislation (including framework and/or individual product legislation) and Environmentally Preferable Purchasing (EPP) legislation as recommended by the Governor’s Climate Action Team.

Product stewardship and EPP legislation encourage a more closed-loop recycling system, especially for products that are more difficult to recycle. Legislation will keep products and toxics out of the waste stream and stormwater.

Milestone IND N: A statewide product stewardship framework is in place and three or more new products are included in that framework. Alternatively, comparable product stewardship legislation is in place for individual products.

Milestone IND O:Legislation is modified to support more environmentally preferable purchasing, a program to track EPP purchases is in place, and sales of EPP goods and services are increasing.  (Same as Milestone MRW I)
