EPR Industry Overview

Transforming waste management through Extended Producer Responsibility and circular economy adoption.

What is EPR?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy framework holding manufacturers, importers, and brand owners responsible for the entire life cycle of their products.

By shifting waste management responsibility from municipalities to producers, EPR incentivizes sustainable product design and ensures efficient collection, recycling, and disposal of materials like plastics, electronics, and batteries.
