<br /> <br /> 1. Imposing charges at the point of sale on packaging that is not recyclable <br />or is not manufactured from recycled materials, and dedicating revenues <br />from such charges to programs for developing markets for recycled <br />materials and/or local waste reduction programs. <br /> <br /> 2. Providing for statewide recognition of retailers and producers who <br />voluntarily implement and report packaging reduction. <br /> <br /> 3. Adopting procurement guidelines for State and public agencies that <br />encourage purchase of construction materials with recycled content. <br /> <br />b. Waste Reduction Goals <br /> <br /> Measurement of waste recovery must recognize local efforts that reduce waste <br />and reuse items. <br /> <br /> Recommendations: <br /> <br /> 1. The City supports supplementing current methods for measuring <br />recovery by emphasizing multiple waste reduction measures. <br /> <br /> 2. The City supports reuse and recycling of construction and demolition <br />debris. Where possible, State law should count recovered construction <br />materials toward the waste recovery rate each watershed is required to <br />achieve. <br /> <br /> 3. The City supports regular composition studies by the Department of <br />Environmental Quality (DEQ) to better understand waste disposal <br />patterns within local discard streams and improve targeting of waste <br />reduction, recycling and composting efforts. <br /> <br /> 4. The City supports promotion of waste prevention/resource efficiency <br />through Extended Product Responsibility. <br /> <br /> <br />c.
