Global Product Stewardship Council
MS2 are Foundation Members and help lead the creation of the Global Product Stewardship Council in April 2010, as well as the GlobalPSC’s subsequent development. The GlobalPSC is an independent, not-for-profit forum for product stewardship development and an online resource for information on product stewardship policies and programs across the world. The GlobalPSC’s vision is to facilitate the development of effective product stewardship schemes globally. GlobalPSC members have headquarters or facilities in ten countries and include businesses of all sizes, NGOs and governments at federal, state/provincial and local levels.
As a membership-based organisation providing an online clearinghouse of independent, objective information on product stewardship, the GlobalPSC does not advocate for or against particular approaches. Rather, the GlobalPSC helps stakeholders to understand the objectives, strengths and weaknesses of various programs based on independent, peer-reviewed analysis and sharing information on emerging initiatives through an international network of product stewardship practitioners.
As President of the GlobalPSC, MS2 Director Russ Martin testified before an Australian Senate Parliamentary committee on the development of product stewardship framework legislation, following appointment by the Australian Government to the advisory body for the legislation and preparation of the GlobalPSC’s submission to the Senate.
