New Zealand Product Stewardship Council
The New Zealand Product Stewardship Council (NZPSC) is a champion for effective and responsible product stewardship practices. We serve as an independent voice advocating for regulations and programs that benefit the environment and our communities.
What We Do:
- Conduct research and analysis on product stewardship best practices.
- Advocate for policies that incentivize businesses to design and produce less wasteful products.
- Raise awareness about product stewardship through presentations, conferences, and publications.
- Provide a platform for local authorities and the community to have a say in shaping product stewardship programs.
Why Product Stewardship Matters
- Shared responsibility: Product stewardship ensures everyone involved in a product’s lifecycle – producers, consumers, and waste management – contributes to minimizing its environmental impact.
- Sustainable future: By prioritizing waste reduction, reuse, and recycling, product stewardship fosters a more sustainable future for New Zealand.
- Producer innovation: Effective product stewardship incentivizes businesses to develop innovative products that are easier to reuse, recycle, or recover at the end of their lifespan.
- Reduced environmental impact: Well-designed product stewardship programs help conserve resources, minimize pollution, and protect our environment.
