Extended Producer Responsibility

“The research in this issue . . . provides insights into how and why EPR has evolved into its current form and how it might evolve further to achieve the goals its proponents have espoused.” to achieve public goals, internalizing the costs of waste management into product prices, and shifting the financial burden of waste management from municipalities and taxpayers to firms and consumers. Implicitly it also held the promise of increased funding for recycling infrastructure and a policy mechanism that could be selfadjusting. EPR, like so many terms and concepts in environmental policy, has multiple definitions. The most commonly used emphasizes the shift in responsibility for end-of-life management of products and materials to producers. The definition provided by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD 2001) in its work on EPR in the early 2000s is widely used:
