The home of product stewardship
We design and develop product stewardship programmes for industry and business. Product stewardship allows people and business to take responsibility for the products they make and sell through their lifecycle, and particularly at the end of their useful life, so that these products are recycled, reused, repurposed or properly disposed of.
Whether voluntary or regulated, we are your product stewardship partner. Talk to us.

Stewardship solutions
Product stewardship lets each party in a products’ life cycle contribute to the effective recycling or disposal of the product and its packaging, as well as looking back up the supply chain to how a product is designed, manufactured and sold.
