ORS 459A.917 Specifically identified materials

The Department of Environmental Quality, in consultation with producer responsibility organizations and the Oregon Recycling System Advisory Council, shall establish and maintain a list of specifically identified materials.

In determining whether a covered product is a specifically identified material, the department shall consider criteria that include, but need not be limited to:

Whether recycling processing equipment improvements are needed to sort the material and when producer responsibility organizations will fund those improvements;

The availability of viable responsible end markets for the material;

Economic factors affecting the value of the material; and

Whether the inclusion of the covered product in recycling collection programs could cause an increase in costs.
