Item D: E-Cycles 2024 Rulemaking (Action) DEQ will present proposed rules to clarify and implement House Bill 3220, which modernizes the long-standing electronics recycling program, Oregon E-Cycles. This statewide program follows an extended producer responsibility model, a waste management strategy that requires producers to share in the responsibility for the end-of-life management of their products and materials. DEQ recommends creating several new rules and modifying current rules to best serve the E-Cycles program. In early 2024, DEQ convened an advisory committee of entities who may be affected by administrative rules, to give input to DEQ on proposed concepts.
