Product Stewardship
Product stewardship is a responsibility model that encourages manufacturers, retailers, and consumers to manage the environmental impact of products throughout their lifecycle. This means considering how products are designed, used, and disposed of. Companies aim to minimize waste and pollution by designing safer products, using sustainable materials, and promoting recycling. Consumers are also encouraged to participate by properly recycling or disposing of products after use. By fostering shared responsibility, product stewardship helps reduce negative environmental impacts and promotes sustainability in our economy.
