NCER Pre-Conference Workshops at E-Scrap 2011

US E-Scrap Laws 101: An Overview of the Key Aspects and Differences of the 25 State Laws

Date: Tuesday, October 4, 2011
Time: 9:30AM – 12:00PM
Locatoin: Olympic Room
Description: If you’ve heard that half of the states now have some type of electronics recycling law, but don’t know how the “patchwork” of approaches impacts you or your company, this workshop is a good place to start. The National Center for Electronics Recycling (NCER) has designed this course to help make sense of the state mandated electronics recycling programs in simple and practical terms. If your company is facing requirements as a collector, recycler, or manufacturer, or you are looking to help any of these organization to participate and comply with the laws, this workshop will give you a unique way to think about and understand the challenges and opportunities. Attendees will hear from experts in the field in order to offer knowledge from those assisting manufacturers and recyclers successfully comply and expand their business, as well as helpful tips on common mistakes seen by the regulators. Registration fee includes workshop participation and comprehensive CD of key reports, comparison documents, and other helpful information on the state laws.
Cost: $150

Solutions for Harmonization of State E-Scrap Program Laws

Date: Tuesday, October 4, 2011
Time: 1PM – 4PM
Loction: Olympic Room
Description: At last year’s E-Scrap workshop, the Electronics Recycling Coordination Clearinghouse (ERCC) led a prioritization exercise that identified the biggest challenges for stakeholders and program managers due to the differing state laws on electronics recycling. From that workshop the ERCC and its members developed a number of tools and documents to address the highest priorities. At the 2011 E-Scrap pre-conference workshop, the ERCC will focus on solutions to those challenges that will form a “Harmonization Work Plan.” The workshop will address areas where ERCC has already begun activities, such as combined registration, collector best practices, and product definitions, as well as new topics identified by the group. The workshop is open to all, and ERCC members may attend at no cost.
Cost: Free for ERCC Members, $100 for non-members, $50 for government non-members
