Abstract Long Description

The information presented herein is that which has been gathered by the Department of Ecology to satisfy its responsibilities identified in ESHB 2488 by the Washington State Legislature. As the process unfolds, discovery of new information may occur. The information will be adjusted accordingly.

This is the first report to the legislature related to electronic product reuse and recycling. It is an interim report. A complete report containing the recommendations requested will be submitted to the legislature in December 2005. This report provides basic information and background related to the problems associated with end of life management of electronic products and a description of the process being used by Ecology to complete the project. The facilitator′s interim report is contained in Appendix A.

Ecology retained the services of Agreement Dynamics of Seattle, Washington to facilitate the stakeholder process. We have held one meeting of the stakeholders, now serving the state on the state Solid Waste Advisory Committee, Sub-committee on Electronic Products. The sub-committee represents those stakeholders identified in ESHB 2488. Ecology has also established a Technical Team to assist in research and gather best available data in order to create a solid foundation upon which the recommendation will be built.
