A consultation meeting regarding the new proposed fee methodology for packaging and printed paper (PPP) stewardship programs was held on April 21, 2016. Over the past year, a dedicated group of stewards, known as the Steward Consultation Committee (SCC), have developed a proposed new fee methodology for packaging and printed paper that takes a principle-based approach, is easy to understand, fair, and able to stand the test of time. The proposed fee methodology has been developed by stewards for stewards in order to respond to concerns that the existing methodology is too complex, difficult to understand and may be unfair to certain material categories. Materials:

• Consultation Pre-Read Document
• Webinar 
• Presentation
• Q&A
• Fee Comparison Calculator
• Consultation Report on the Proposed New Fee Methodology
