About the Cylinder Collective
Our Mission
Cylinder Collective, a collaboration of cylinder producers, is focused on creating and supporting residential recycling programs through industry-led efforts. Our mission is to provide stewardship programs that are operationally efficient, convenient, accessible, and free to residential consumers.
Our Goals
Provide a collaborative approach. We aim to work with local waste management leaders to improve collection systems for pressurized gas cylinders, ensure proper recycling, and provide for the safe handling and reuse of residual gasses in states with supporting Extended Producer Responsibility legislation.
Implement an effective product stewardship model. Our program approach includes development of collection sites and arrangements with transporters and processors, and it provides education on end-of-life management of residential gas cylinders.
Ensure accountability. While Cylinder Collective will lead the process, program success must include effective collaboration between both industry and state through monitoring and enforcement.
Provide cost savings. An industry-led program provides support to the government by taking on the operational and financial responsibility of managing these products at end of life, in collaboration with public sector leaders.
Pursue continuous improvement. Cylinder Collective aims to establish convenient and accessible collection points, evaluate our operations for improved efficiencies, and evolve collection targets as we meet our collection goals.
