Toshiba Group Position on Individual Producer Responsibility
Toshiba Group thinks the concept of IPR is one of the effective approaches to encourage design for recycling. Toshiba has already started its own take back solutions; for example, Toshiba's Trade-In and Recycling Program in the United States, Toshiba's Environmental Recovery and Recycling Effort (TERRE) in Canada, and in the other countries. Toshiba Group believes that a successful recycling system is contingent upon society and the infrastructure that exists in that society. Importantly, Toshiba believes that to maximize recycling, associated costs placed on the general public should be minimal. Accordingly, the development of recycling systems should take into account national synergies -- including the formation of partnerships or joint efforts -- which can increase efficiencies, drive costs out of recycling systems and lead to increased rates of recycling. The concept of Individual Producer Responsibility should incorporate flexibility to account for varied national arrangements that, when utilized, may serve to reduce recycling costs in total, resulting in increased recycling rates.
