Applying EPR in developing countries
The basic idea behind EPR is that: the burden of responsibility for the end-of-life treatment of products placed onto the market should be taken by the producers. EPR is usually conceived as a comprehensive policy package, combining various instruments to simultaneously achieve three distinct objectives:
- Improved waste management and resource recovery:
to establish effective collection of end-of-life (EoL) products from consumers, promote environmentally sound treatment and efficient recycling, and reduce the amount of wastes for final disposal;
- Integrating environmental externalities into production and consumption: to transfer the financial burden for waste management from the public sector to the manufacturers;
- Design for the environment: to provide economic incentives for producers to incorporate product design that enables easier reuse and recycling of products.
