Petition Action

Require companies to dispose of their own products with an end of life service.

Petition Details

Require companies to dispose of their own products when they are not easily recyclable household items. Free postal/collection services should be provided to dispose of products. Taxes should be leveraged on companies that don't. Companies need to be held accountable for the full product lifecycle.

Additional Information

I want to reduce the amount of waste being produced by companies. Currently companies aren't responsible for recycling or disposing the waste they produce, which ends its life in landfill. They should be required to design for a full circle product lifecycle which includes reuse, recycle and disposal. The current system requires citizens to be responsible for recycling, which is hard to enforce and not possible for anything other than common household goods.
