From the article:
“Product Policy Institute has been working with governments for seven years to find solutions to the mounting burden of product and packaging waste facing communities,” says Product Policy Institute executive director Bill Sheehan. “Today the U.S. Conference of Mayors planted their flag in the waste pile and said, ‘No more.’ They asked product manufacturers to take primary responsibility for their toxic and nonrecyclable products. We’re proud of their leadership on this pressing issue.”
