This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UMaine. REDUCING SINGLE-USE CONSUMER PRODUCTS Municipal Approaches to Reduce Single-Use Consumer Products in Maine by Travis Wagner Maine’s solid waste management hierarchy prioritizes reduction and reuse over recycling. While most municipalities in Maine have focused on increasing recycling, they have undertaken minimal efforts to specifically foster source reduction and reuse. In this paper, Travis Wagner examines the approaches adopted in Maine by the state and by municipalities to reduce the consumption of single-use consumer products including bans, fees, consumer education, choice architecture, and retail take back. INTRODUCTION ship promotes the sharing of responsibility among various stakeholders (designers, producers, sellers, users) n 1989, Maine adopted a goal of 50 percent diversion involved throughout the life cycle of a product (Nicol I(recycling) for municipal solid waste (MSW) to be and Thompson 2007).

  • Don't Take a Holiday from Recycling!
    Don’t Take a Holiday From Recycling! How to Have a “Greener” Holiday Season Brought to you by the City of Griffin Solid Waste Department • Americans throw away 25% more trash during the Thanksgiving to New Year’s holiday season than any other time of year. This extra garbage amounts to 25 million tons of trash . • If every family in the U.S. reused just 2 feet of holiday ribbon, the 38,000 miles of ribbon saved could tie a bow around the entire planet. • The 2.65 billion Christmas cards sold each year in the U.S. could fill a football field 10 stories high. If we each sent one card less, we’d save 50,000 cubic yards of paper. Items to Recycle: • Corrugated cardboard boxes (flatten and place next to your recycle can) • Gift boxes • Gift catalogs • Newspapers filled with advertising inserts • Wrapping paper / Gift Bags • greeting cards Tips for a Greener Holiday Season • Use reusable shopping bags. This will reduce the number of plastic bags that get trashed and minimize the amount of petroleum used to make them. If you receive plastic bags, remember to recycle them. • Send your holiday greetings in electronic form. E-cards can be enhanced with sound and animation and they create no physical waste. • If you use traditional gift wrapping, always buy recycled-content wrapping paper. If your store doesn't sell recycled-content wrapping paper, ask the manager to order it in the future. • If you send holiday cards, buy recycled-content cards and envelopes. Or make your own cards.

  • Beyond Wrapping
    Beyond Wrapping: Investigation of the design processes of personalising gift-wrapping The exegesis is submitted to Auckland University of Technology for the degree of Master of Art and Design Makiko Chiba October 2012 Attestation of Authorship “I hereby declare that this submission is my own work and that, to the best of my knowledge and believe, it contains no material previously published or written by another person (except where explicitly defined in the acknowledgments), nor material which to a substantial extent has been submitted for the award of any other degree or diploma of a university or other institution of higher learning” Makiko Chiba October 2012 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my supervisors, Dr King Tong Ho and Laurent Antonczak, for their patience, encouragement, and invaluable contributions. Dr King Tong Ho has devoted so much time to supporting me throughout this project, and his words “Stay focused” have encouraged me to refocus and recover whenever I faced obstacles during the year. Laurent Antonczak has inspired me throughout my journey, and his uplifting attitude made me enjoy my project. I also want to thank all the postgraduate staff who have taught me how to achieve my goal and my classmates, especially Alice and Cindy, who supported me during my first year of study and gave me advice in my second year. I would also like to express my gratitude to my partner and flatmates, Mark, Ofeira, and Alexa, for believing in me and providing me with personal encouragement throughout my university career and to my family, who gave me the opportunity to study in NZ and have supported me throughout my life.
