How to navigate the complex world of EPR

EPR has gone global – and this map is just for packaging…

It comes from a white paper that Landbell Group published recently:

Refining Extended Producer Responsibility to Boost the Circular Economy; put together by Thomas Fischer and his team.

EPR improves waste management and circularity, a success that has led to its adoption worldwide.

A paper with a simple story (and suggestions for improvements) – with a map showing the underlying complexity:

– 100s of new producer responsibility organisations (PROs) now in operation

– over 400 new items of EPR-related legislation enforced by governments, with countless other laws amended in the last three years alone

So, how to navigate this complex world?

The first step is our Knowledge Database (KDB), which is also managed by Thomas and his team.

The KDB covers legislation – for batteries, EEE, packaging (including single-use plastics) and textiles – in well over 200 jurisdictions.

If your company needs to comply with these laws, talk to our colleagues at H2 Compliance – global chemical, environmental compliance & software solutions.

Their CGlobal (Compliance Global) service will guide you.
