The NWPSC surveyed Washington local and state government staff for guidance on product stewardship priorities. The top 5 products / materials that "create concerns at the end-of-life for you and the community you serve" are:

1. (tied) HHW (Household Hazardous Waste: solvents, pesticides, flammable liquids and other HHW products) and paint (both oil based and latex)
2. batteries
3. sharps
4. #3 - #7 plastic packaging
5. electronic peripherals (e.g., mice, keyboards, printers)

Respondents similarly ranked these products as "good candidates for product stewardship programs." Other materials which received votes: propane tanks; marine flares; mixed paper, plastic coated paper, aseptic containers and cartons; plastic bags and film; flexible packaging (multi-laminate pouches such as used in e-commerce, or for a wide variety of food packaging); glass; oil; and tires. 
The NWPSC has been working with a variety of stakeholders over the past several years, as yet unsuccesfully, to pass legislation for a statewide product stewardship program for paint. 98% responded that the NWPSC should continue to focus on paint product stewardship legislation in 2018.
The NWPSC seeks to work with local government to advance this paint legislation; please contact the NWPSC to find out how you can help.
