In the context of e-waste, Producer Responsibility (manufacturer take-back) is the idea that the producers (manufacturers) of electronics must take them back the electronics when they are no longer functional and/or wanted, and handle those items responsibly and ethically when they do so.
Christopher Swain's TOXTOURTM advocates Producer Responsibility.
(But we aren't just waiting around for favorable legislation. We plan to divert one billion pounds of used-electronics from the waste stream in the meantime.)
