The EPR2 Roundtable

The EPR2 Roundtable, managed by the National Safety Council, was formed in 1997 to raise public awareness about and find innovative ways to promote environmentally and economically sound management of electronic equipment that no longer meets the needs of its original owners. The roundtable explored options at the “beginning of life,” such as design for environment, that will help eliminate some of the “end of life” issues. The roundtable members, who are listed below, represented a broad range of organizations, including original equipment manufacturers; federal, state, and local government agencies; nongovernmental organizations; retailers; and academia.

As a result of the Roundtable's recommendations, the National Safety Council produced the first Electronic Product Recovery and Recycling Baseline Report in May 1999.
