Product Stewardship Institute Inc.

The Product Stewardship Institute is a policy expert and consulting nonprofit that powers the emerging circular economy to ensure products are responsibly managed from design to end of life. In 2000, PSI pioneered product stewardship in the United States by convening diverse stakeholders to develop and mediate extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies and programs. Drawing on global best practices and expansive multinational relationships, our policy models and expert testimony have helped enact 136 EPR laws in 33 states across 18 product categories, including packaging. Our members include state, local, and tribal governments in 48 states, and we partner with more than 120 businesses, academic institutions, environmental nonprofits, and international governments. Together, we advance scalable solutions that protect people and the planet.
