Global Product Stewardship

Global Product Stewardship refers to the responsible management of a product’s entire lifecycle— from design and manufacturing to disposal— with the goal of minimizing environmental impact and promoting sustainability. It involves manufacturers, consumers, and regulators working together to ensure proper product handling, recycling, or disposal, reducing waste and conserving resources. This approach encourages companies to create environmentally friendly products and take responsibility for their environmental footprint throughout the product’s life, fostering a more sustainable economy while protecting natural ecosystems for future generations.
