Confirmed this 12th day of September 2019 Councillor Greg Martin (Chairperson) 7 4.1 Priority Product Stewardship Consultation Response Meeting: Infrastructure Committee Date of meeting: 12 September 2019 Reporting officer: David Lindsay 1 Purpose To inform the Committee about Council’s proposed submission to the Ministry for the Environment’s priority product stewardship public consultation. 2 Recommendation That the Committee endorses a submission to the Ministry for the Environment’s priority product stewardship public consultation in support of priority product status for all the waste streams currently being consulted on and the ministerial guidelines for priority product stewardship schemes. 3 Background In a product stewardship approach, manufacturers that design products and specify packaging have the greatest ability, and therefore greatest responsibility, to reduce environmental and economic impacts by attempting to incorporate the full lifecycle costs into the cost of doing business. Council support product stewardship policy because it involves: shifting financial and management responsibility upstream to the producer and away from the public sector; and providing incentives to producers to incorporate environmental considerations into the design of their products and packaging. Product stewardship is mandatory when a product is declared a priority product under the Waste Minimisation Act 2008 by the Minister for the Environment. Regulated product stewardship under the Waste Minimisation Act is an option for managing classes of products that can cause environmental harm on disposal. When effectively designed and implemented, such systems can shift the costs of minimising harm from products away from the wider community and environment to product designers, producers and users. This can help create market incentives for better product design, reduce environmental impacts, increase materials recovery from products at the end of their life and encourage waste minimisation and resource efficiency. At present, New Zealand has no regulated product stewardship schemes. Numerous examples overseas include: e-waste, tyres, packaging, batteries, vehicles, oil, medicines, paint, agrichemicals, solvents, products with mercury and graphic paper. These schemes 8 typically work by requiring product fees on entry to market and reallocating the funds
