  1. Update on California’sCovered Electronic Waste (CEW)Recycling Program Presented as part of the Executive Director’s Report to the California Integrated Waste Management Board September 15, 2009 www.eRecycle.org

  2. This update will cover: Program statistics Industry dynamics Operational challenges Future considerations Q & A

  3. CEW Payment System

  4. Recent Program Milestones In 2008, Board reduced payment rates to reflect costs, and raised consumer fee to maintain program solvency In 2009, Board considered payment denial and approval revocation appeals Over 700 million pounds claimed

  5. (Note that 2nd and 3rd quarter 2009 quantities represent only a portion of anticipated claims. Recyclers are supposed submit a claim up within 45 days after the end of a reporting month.)

  6. Program Participation Approximately 60 approved recyclers Approximately 600 approved collectors Unknown number of “handlers” Entities other than the California source that transfer CEW to approved collectors

  7. Program Challenges Claim workload remains high Usually able to achieve “30 day goal” Handful of notable exceptions Source documentation deficiencies Incomplete, non-compliant, falsified Evolving techniques for detecting

  8. Program Challenges Holding participants accountable Denial of payment claims Revocation of approval Further enforcement / prosecution Participant turnover Expirations, expulsions, drop-outs New applicants

  9. Program Challenges Failure of recyclers to pay collectors System depends on “recycler financing” Regulations intended to protect collectors Some recyclers with low cash flows have not paid; some blame State Participants encouraged to conduct “smart business”

  10. Future Uncertainties Continued growth of CEW volumes? Future of CRT glass markets? Volatility in commodity markets?

  11. Future Considerations Net Cost Report (NCR) requirements NCRs are used to calculate payment rates Board must act by Dec 31, 2009 to require that NCRs be submitted by Mar 1, 2010 Payment rates and fee levels Board may act by July 1, 2010 to adjust payment rates if necessary Board may act by August 1, 2010 to adjust fee levels if necessary
