The Global Product Stewardship Council and French producer responsibility organisation (PRO) for sharps, DASTRI, invite you to join us in Paris this July for the next International Stewardship Forum.

The Paris Forum will help attendees understand extended producer responsibility (EPR) and product stewardship issues and opportunities, particularly in the context of broader sustainability and circular economy approaches. Practical considerations, case studies and in-depth discussions with international speakers will feature throughout.

The Paris Forum will examine EPR and product stewardship in a broad context across a wide range of products, with an emphasis on public health and safety, including appropriate management of medical devices and medicines. The Paris Forum will also delve into business case, economic and performance considerations of EPR and product stewardship.

Highlights from the GlobalPSC’s International Stewardship Forum 2018, including recommendations to the Australian Government for improvements to the Product Stewardship Act 2011, are available in the Forum’s Issues and Options Paper.

The inaugural International Stewardship Forum was held in Sydney from 4-6 April 2018. With over 130 participants and 13 international speakers, the Forum provided a unique opportunity for participants to gather practical insights from product stewardship and extended producer responsibility (EPR) programs across a broad range of products and substances.

The Forum was designed to maximise discussion and interaction between local and international representatives. It involved:

  • two days of presentations and panel discussions.
  • a final day of discussions with select stakeholders to reflect upon the Forum presentations, identify key insights, and help map out a way forward for product stewardship in Australia. These discussions followed a modified Chatham House Rule to encourage openness and information sharing.
