NEW YORKERS DESERVE BETTER.

We propose a better way – a modernized system that is run and funded by a non-profit Product Stewardship Organization made up of private sector producers. This reform system has worked elsewhere to create an efficient and effective collection system that is financially stable and convenient to consumers, and it will work for all New Yorkers. Under a modern system, producers have a financial incentive to operate the system effectively, with government support and oversight. This will ensure high recycling rates, financial stability and convenience to consumers.

We share the goals of our environmental and legislative partners to reduce waste and use less new plastic. And we know through our decades of experience within producer stewardship systems in other parts of the world that a modernized, producer-run deposit system will achieve our collective vision for higher recycling rates in New York. Oregon, which enacted the nation’s first-ever deposit system, has shifted to this type of system and now leads the 10 U.S. deposit states with a redemption rate approaching 90% for bottles and cans.

Beverage bottles are the most recyclable – and recycled – plastic in New York. The reformed deposit model that we are proposing would provide true accountability and transparency in the system, meet performance targets and support investments in the program.
