A manufacturer shall not sell or offer for sale any covered\n\ndevice in this state unless the covered device is labeled with the\n\nmanufacturer’s brand. The label shall be permanently affixed and\n\nreadily visible.\n\nB. A manufacturer shall not sell or offer for sale a covered\n\ndevice in this state unless the manufacturer has adopted and is\n\nimplementing a recovery plan, either alone or in cooperation with\n\nother manufacturers.\n\nC. The recovery plan shall fully explain how the manufacturer\n\nwill collect from a consumer and recover each covered device that is\n\nlabeled with the manufacturer’s brand, at no charge to the consumer.\n\nThe manufacturer’s recovery plan under this subsection may use\n\nexisting collection and consolidation infrastructure for handling\n\ncovered devices and may include electronic recyclers and repair\n\nshops, recyclers of other commodities, reuse organizations,\n\nnonprofit corporations, retailers, recyclers, or other suitable\n\noperations.\n\nD. The recovery plan shall provide for covered device\n\ncollection services that are reasonably convenient and available,\n\nand designed to meet the collection needs of consumers in this\n\nstate. Nonexclusive examples of collection methods that alone or in\n\ncombination meet the convenience requirements of this section\n\ninclude:\n\n1. A mail-back system, at no cost to the consumer, whereby the\n\nconsumer can return a covered device through the mail, including,\n\nbut not limited to, a system in which the consumer can go online,\n\nprint a prepaid shipping label, package the product, and schedule an\n\nat-home pickup for shipment back to the manufacturer;\n\n2. The providing of staffed physical collection sites at which\n\nconsumers may return covered devices, sited in locations that are\n\ngeographically central to the consumers served; and\n\n3. Collection events at which consumers may return covered\n\ndevices, sited in locations that are geographically central to the\n\npeople served and conducted with sufficient frequency to reasonably\n\nmeet the needs of the consumers served.\n\nE. If a manufacturer does not offer a mail-back system, it\n\nshall submit for approval by the Department of Environmental Quality\n\na plan that offers reasonably convenient collections as set forth in\n\nparagraph 2 or 3 of subsection D of this section. The Department\n\nshall review the plan for geographic distribution and frequency of\n\ncollections. The Department shall notify the manufacturer within\n\nthirty (30) days of receipt of the plan whether or not the\n\nmanufacturer’s plan complies with the requirements of this section.\n\nIf the Department does not approve the plan, the Department shall\n\nstate the reasons the plan does not comply. The manufacturer shall\n\nrespond to the Department within twenty (20) days of receipt of\n\nnotification of the disapproval of the plan. If the Department and\n\nthe manufacturer do not agree on whether the plan should be\n\napproved, the manufacturer may seek review in a declaratory ruling\n\nproceeding under the provisions of Section 307 of Title 75 of the\n\nOklahoma Statutes.\n\nF. The recovery plan shall also include a statement that the\n\nmanufacturer will not dispose of covered devices in landfills or\n\ntransfer covered devices to computer equipment recycling facilities\n\nthat dispose of covered devices in landfills other than necessary\n\nincidental disposal in de minimis amounts.\n\nG. Each manufacturer operating or publishing a web site for\n\nproviding product information about a covered device shall include\n\ninformation about collection and recovery for consumers and provide\n\nsuch information to the Department. The manufacturer shall also\n\ninclude such information in the packaging or accompanying the sale\n\nof the covered device.\n\nH. No later than March 1 of each year, each manufacturer shall\n\nsubmit a report to the Department that includes:\n\n1. A summary of the recovery program implemented by the\nude\n\ninformation about collection and recovery for consumers and provide\n\nsuch information to the Department. The manufacturer shall also\n\ninclude such information in the packaging or accompanying the sale\n\nof the covered device.\n\nH. No later than March 1 of each year, each manufacturer shall\n\nsubmit a report to the Department that includes:\n\n1. A summary of the recovery program implemented by the\n\nmanufacturer during the previous calendar year, specifically\n\ndescribing the methods of recovery implemented by the manufacturer;\n\n2. The weight of covered devices collected and recovered during\n\nthe previous calendar year;\n\n3. The location and dates of collection events during the\n\nprevious calendar year, if any, and the location of collection\n\nsites, if any; and\n\n4. Certification that the collection and recovery of covered\n\ndevices complies with the provisions of Section 9 of this act.\n\nI. Where more than one person is within the definition of\n\nmanufacturer of a brand of a covered device, any of those persons\n\nmay assume responsibility for and satisfy the obligations of a\n\nmanufacturer with respect to covered devices bearing that brand. If\n\nno person assumes responsibility for and satisfies the obligations\n\nof a manufacturer with respect to covered devices bearing that\n\nbrand, the Department may consider any of those persons within such\n\ndefinition to be the manufacturer of that brand.\n\nJ. This section does not apply to a manufacturer solely of\n\ncovered devices that the Department determines are of such a\n\ncharacter that the covered devices would not be used by a consumer.\n\nIf, however, such a manufacturer also manufactures one or more\n\ncovered devices that are of such character as to be used by a\n\nconsumer, then the provisions of this section nevertheless apply to\n\nthe manufacturer for those covered devices.","path":["OK Code","Title 27A"],"source_url":"https://www.oklegislature.gov/OK_Statutes/CompleteTitles/os27A.pdf","current_through":"2026-08-14","vintage":"open-us-law v2026.08, retrieved 2026-09-14","retrieved_at":"2026-09-14T18:32:36Z","sha256":"9c3b313b08880a2a09a03803250520a4339d27d0b7fe4a7d7e88e4341e2db418","source_id":"us-ok","stale":false,"prev":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-27a-27a-2-11-604","next":"us-ok/okla.-stat.-tit.-27a-27a-2-11-606"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
