Still on the fence whether this can only be solved by hard regulation and liability or whether we as industry can still create enough of a cultural shift to “do the right thing” under our own momentum.
Require just like in other environmental discussions (glass recycling etc) that the manufacturers present a responsibility/management process for the whole lifecycle of the "thing", and we will be done. Including destruction, recycling of material etc.

Yups, such a solution would ultimately be the thing to have. You are right in that at the meta level this is just a sustainability issue. Big question, would the current IG eco system be up to the task of defining the requirements, have the different stakeholders implement their part of the solution and in the end collectively provide enough incentive for the system to be (self) enforced. And if that is not the case, how likely would a multi-lateral solution be? And more importantly, how to ensure we at least can give input to that process, we are after all the experts. Oh and of course when we do get this invite, what are we going to say and is there any chance we coordinate ourselves to a coherent strategy. Sounds like there is still enough to talk about, fancy a trip to Leeds? Groet, MarcoH -- Sent from a small touch screen, apologies for typos
