E-Waste Recycling Close to a Reality in Illinois
Thursday, July 10, 2008
The Illinois Senate unanimously passed amendments to an Electronic Waste or E-Waste legislative bill today championed by ELPC. The passage today marks another significant accomplishment of the campaign to bring a market-based approach to recycling E-Waste to all Illinois residents. The Electronic Products Recycling and Reuse Act will require electronic manufacturers to set up a take back program for used electronics or to partner with local recyclers to offer residents more E-Waste recycling venues close to home. The one remaining step for the bill to become the law of the land is the signature of Gov. Rod Blagojevich, which is expected later this year.
