In one panel, I got upset that all recycling talk was about the consumer and the waste management companies. I asked what about producer responsibility. To my surprise, I found out that there is very little Extended Producer Responsibility in the US. Having lived in Europe and worked at Nokia, I thought it was normal to require manufacturers to take back their product for recycling and to require them to design their products for recycling (and reduced waste). Alas, the US is woefully behind.
