2 | Take charge at the E-Scrap Conference

North America has been slow to regulate the disposal of consumer batteries and, while some states and provinces have attempted to regulate disposal of certain battery chemistries, only recently have jurisdictions begun to embrace an extended producer responsibility (EPR) approach. With almost 400 million people in the U.S. and Canada, combined, the quantity of disposed batteries is significant. This presentation features Call2Recycle's unique perspective on the challenges and opportunities of EPR for battery disposal. Join Call2Recycle's Carl Smith in a discussion of the future of battery recycling at the upcoming E-Scrap Conference.

E-Scrap 2012 will be held September 19-20 at the Hyatt Regency Dallas in Dallas, Texas. For more information, visit www.e-scrapconference.com, or click the banner below.
