Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) - also known as Product Stewardship - is a policy approach that holds producers liable for the costs of responsibly managing their products at end of life. Extending producer responsibility for products from "cradle to cradle" acknowledges that producers have the greatest control over product design and marketing and therefore have the greatest ability and responsibility to reduce toxicity and waste.

Ms. Sanborn has been working in the solid waste industry for over 17 years. She contributed to the inclusion of product stewardship in the California Integrated Waste Management Board's strategic plan. She received the California Resource Recovery Association's "Recycler of the Year" Award in 2002.
