3 Financing Cost internalization The producers are billed by the WMMFA for their share of the program costs based on their market share (by weight) in comparison to all other members regardless of product types manufactured No fee/assessment at retail Manufacturers have chosen how to account for the cost internally WMMFA undergoes annual financial audits with independent auditors reporting to the Board

4 Overview of System Collectors Collector Profiles: Number of collection sites by type Collectors are paid based on individually negotiated rates based in their cost of collections, environmental compliance, and reasonable competition # added change Non Profit retailers used goods % Retailers of used goods % Computer reuse & resale % Private solid waste co % Local Govt. Transfer Stations and LF % Other Small business % Recyclers All commodities % Processors % TOTAL %

6 Establishing Service Provider Agreements (processors, collectors, transporters) Agree to fair compensation Aim to use existing infrastructure to provide collection services Level of service by processors is determined by several factors: Capacity for handling materials Proximity and location to major transport routes Environmental efficiencies Administrative competence and billing accuracy

7 Alternate Collection Services Law requires collection sites: Alternative methods are optional (curbside or pick up on demand) The WMMFA believes that the collection site model is the most efficient, convenient, and environmentally responsible of all potential product stewardship models based on the scope of products involved with this particular program, due to the equipment necessary to handle, transport, and process electronics per the required environmental standards and the logistics.

8 Overview of System Processors Processor Profiles: Number of approved and registered processors: 7 IMS Recycling, Vancouver, WA Total Reclaim, Seattle, WA Electronic Recyclers International, Auburn, WA EWC Group, Tukwila, WA E-Waste LLC, Lynwood, WA Ace Metal Company, Mukilteo, WA ECS Refining, Santa Clara, CA Primary Recycling Methods: CRT Glass to Glass materials used in new glass products Circuit Boards, misc MOC electronics Primary smelter with metals recovery NO processors reported shipments to any Non-OECD countries since plan start up
