Carpet: Plastic, Calcium Carbonate, Latex

Carpet is a bulky waste. The face fibers are valuable and can be made into a variety of new products such as auto parts. 

Paint: Latex and Oil-based

Paint cans are found in most every home garage or basement. Paint can be utilized to make blended paint, aggregate for concrete and other uses. 

Mattresses: Textiles, Wood and Metal

Mattresses are bulky items that contain texties, wood and metal that can all be utilized in other markets. 

Pharmaceuticals

Pharmaceuticals are a danger to our water systems and aquatic life. These drugs need to be collected for proper disposal. 

Packaging

Product packaging adds to the resources used for a product. By reducing the amount and type of packaging used, resource use can be minimized. 

Electronics: Metals, Plastic

24 states currently have legislation to manage this ever increasing waste steam

Tires: Rubber

Tire piles are a health risk for potential fires and mosquito breeding. They can be ground up and used to make new tires. 

Phone Books: Paper

Phone books do not have the same usefulness that they did in years past. Many resources are used to produce a product that is not readily used.

ILPSC Mission

The mission of the ILPSC is to shift the product waste management system in Illinois from one focused on government-funded and ratepayer-financed waste diversion to one that relies on producer responsibility in order to reduce public costs, increase opportunities for waste minimization and resource recovery, raise recycling rates, and drive improvements in product design that promote environmental sustainability.

Legislation in Illinois

There are three EPR laws in Illinois:
  • Electronics (2017)
  • Electronics (2008; amended 2011 & 2015 & 2017)
  • Mercury Thermostats (2010)
  • Auto Switches (2006)
