Introduction The problem of solid and harmful wastes utilization occupies an important place in the policy of many states and particularly those that actively produce technical goods. In the US, this issue is also acute, and disputes periodically arise about the need to take urgent measures and to protect the environment from the harmful effects of debris. In this regard, in the late summer of 2017, the Governor of Illinois signed the law regulating the procedure for the recycling of electronics (“Consumer Electronics Recycling Act”). This act was one of the steps on the way to combating pollution caused by the harmful parts of electronic products falling into the soil, and many valuable innovations were introduced. The law of 2017 defined the procedure for the work of companies engaged in the production of electronic equipment and established legislation that calls for the disposal of hazardous waste. Requirements of the Law One of the key elements of the Act is that producers should create e-waste programs and provide financial support to those counties that have decided to become members of the new policy. The requirements of the law primarily affected the course of work performed to eliminate electronic waste products in order to avoid their large accumulations. According to the provisions of the act, it establishes “a convenience standard for electronics recycling which will ensure a minimum number of collection locations in each participating Illinois county” (“Consumer Electronics Recycling Act”). Also, the way of functioning of industrial enterprises was largely affected. Manufacturers were more responsible for their products and, in particular, the rules for disposing of those waste products that could potentially harm the environment. All these factors are key when implementing the conditions of the law, which proves the authorities’ desire to find a compromise and to ensure that harmful electronic products do not have a detrimental impact on nature. Registration Requirements Despite the fact that officially the law will start to operate in 2019, registration requirements have already been presented. It is argued that “by July 1, 2018, the 2019 Manufacturer Program Plans are to be submitted to IL EPA” (“Consumer Electronics Recycling Act”). All counties are proposed to submit relevant applications and participate in the program in order for the law to begin to act and to be of use. In case a particular region expresses the desire to participate, it receives the right to a certain territory for the collection of wastes. What is important is that financial support is provided by the state, and the amount of funds is determined by the size of a particular locality. Similar programs were adopted in Illinois earlier, and they were also aimed at eliminating the consequences of pollution by electronic waste products, which led to a number of changes in the local legislation (“State Legislation: States Are Passing E-Waste Legislation”). At that time, the initiative was supported, and the new project is designed to provide all manufacturers with access to the program provisions for the purpose of their implementation. Requirements to Preserve the Provisions of the Previous Law Due to the fact that the new act will start working in the near future, the conditions of the previ
