Note from the Electronic Resource Recovery Council (ERRC)

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) is performing a research study on Used Electronics Export. Since most e-cyclers will be affected by any actions that come from the study, we want the study to be as complete and accurate as possible.

If you are interested in participating in this research study, please take a look at the documents below. If ERRC wants to comment on the questionnaire linked below, it needs to do so before June 1st, so a conference call to discuss the survey will take place on or before Thursday, May 31st. Please let the STAR office know by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
