Corporate Partnership
Product stewardship cannot be achieved without private sector leadership. PSI’s strategic plan states that one of the organization’s five goals is to “increase industry receptivity, commitment, and participation in product stewardship initiatives.” In January 2009 PSI’s Board of Directors authorized PSI‘s executive director to initiate partnerships to private sector firms that support PSI’s mission and recognize our Principles of Product Stewardship.

Organizational Partnership

PSI was the national first organization in the United States to promote extended producer responsibility as the best way to achieve the dual goals of reducing waste disposal costs borne by government and improving environmental quality. Today, new national and regional organizations are helping lead the product stewardship movement and Product Stewardship Councils are forming in many regions and states. PSI welcomes and recognizes these organizations’ important contributions and seeks to partner with them to achieve shared goals and further institutionalize the product stewardship movement.
