Stakeholder Work Plan Considerations
Mission:
Design, implement and evaluate an
industry led, fully funded statewide
post-consumer paint management
system that is cost effective and
environmentally beneficial.

Stakeholder Work Plan Considerations
Method:
Utilizing data from the Paint Background
Report, 1st MOU Project Reports and other
relevant information, the PPSI Stakeholders
will oversee the design and implementation
of a paint management system in the State
of Minnesota from August 2007 to
December 31, 2008.

Essential Goals:
• Consumers generate no or less waste paint
• Statewide post consumer paint management is as economic
•
•
•
•
•
•
and convenient as possible
Paint industry assumes responsibility for statewide paint
management by January 2008
An increase in market demand for recycled paint products
Fair compensation for post consumer paint collection sites
Post consumer paint is managed as a resource, economic and
environmental value is recovered
The Minnesota paint project is a collaborative process
The statewide system is transferable, replicable and relevant
to other states

Objectives:
Environmentally Beneficial
Post consumer paint is managed according to the waste
hierarchy – reduce, reuse, recycle.
Economical
The paint management system will be as economically viable as
possible, including but not limited to, aspects such as
management methods, overhead costs, recycling, and new
market niche ideas.
High Recovery Rates
Sufficient infrastructure and effective consumer education
produce a high rate of post consumer paint recovery with a
realistic short term and longer term measurable goals.

Stakeholder Work Plan Considerations
Objectives Cont.:
Replicable and Relevant
Template of infrastructure, education, reuse, recycling, fee
mechanism options, etc., that are useful to all stakeholders
and proven effective.
Fully Funded
Coordinated system costs are identified and fully funded
according to the National System Elements Matrix.
Industry Led Paint Stewardship Organization
A paint stewardship organization is established and
responsible for aspects of leftover paint management.

Stakeholder Governing Structure & Roles
Governing Structure:
• Oversight Committee – establish criteria for
decision making, bringing back to larger
stakeholder group, etc.
• Work groups – name them
• Protocol – decision making, communication with
groups
• Auditing – by independent entity

Stakeholder Governing Structure & Roles
Roles Cont.:
• MN Project Stakeholders (Steering Committee?)
Retailers – potential for voluntary collection points, educate
customers, participate in co-op promotion of recycled paint
Producers – timeline of responsibility, establish fee for ongoing
funding, establish PSO, project leadership and staff, etc.
Recyclers – paint markets, points of sale, new partnerships
State and Local Government – regulate recycling, appoint auditor,
make existing infrastructure available, procure recycled paint
Committees – work on specific projects – evaluation, create
templates for other states to use, oversight
Advisory Representatives (Canadian PS Organizations, steel
institute?) – provide feedback, new ideas
Non-MN State and Local Representatives

PSO
What does it take to create a PSO?
• Review of existing elements of PSO Product Care, Eco-Peinture, others?

education, recycling
What’s working well?
What’s not working well?
Education
Participation rates, population make up (rural, educated, long
time programs, etc.)
History of HHW programs
Quantify baseline aerosols and paint containers, methods of
management

Management Program efficiencies to examine:
What should we look at for efficiencies?
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Examine government collection programs
Methods of management
Overhead costs
Reuse program costs/benefits
New infrastructure costs/benefits
Retail foot traffic
Retail customer loyalty – market niche

Stakeholder Work Plan Considerations
Funding – determine funding
Elements to be funded
• Recycling – PLP, paint
• Direct and indirect collection point costs at new and existing sites
• Determine likely schedule of payments including leftover paint
•
•
collection points
Mechanics of fee collection
Create system – forms, reports, transparency
Proxy system funding process
• Time line
• Phased approach?
Disbursement and reimbursement mechanics
• Written agreements
• Measures for accountability
Develop overall project budget

Establish oversight committee and ways to communicate
MN infrastructure – choose target collection sites and volumes
Connect with local programs and establish new collection sites – municipal, fire station, landfill,
willing retail
Create reporting methods – volumes
Reevaluate methods
Examine appropriate collection and other baseline costs
Reevaluate costs if necessary
PSO business plan drafted
PSO in place and operational – staffing, collecting fee, working with recycler, etc. (could be phased)
Education (various media) in place
EPP mandates at state? Other market support
Commence feedstock examination – bulking vs. non
Transportation issues – demonstrate milk run, rural collection, consolidation points
State contract – examine, propose changes, commence changes
Create audit tool
