Product stewardship and regulatory affairs (PSRA) professionals handle the minimization of all negative environmental impacts, and follow the respective regulations for formulating, manufacturing, and distributing products responsibly. Many efforts that began as people did their best to meet PSRA compliance standards have now branched into extended producer responsibility (EPR) aims.
EPR relates to the end-of-life or disposal measures that allow consumers to throw away specific products with minimal environmental harm. In the paint industry, that typically means establishing user-friendly recycling programs. Here are some particular ways paint professionals can promote product stewardship and regulatory compliance within their industry.
