Stakeholder Views on Extended Producer Responsibility and the Circular Economy
分析了生产者延伸责任法规在实施循环经济中的挑战与成效,指出哪些做法有效、哪些问题尚存,对立法者和企业有参考价值。
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations require that producers organize and pay for treatment and recycling of waste arising from their products at end of life. EPR has been effective in implementing some aspects of circular economy. In Europe, 35% of e-waste and 65% of packaging waste have already been recycled (or reused in some cases). This article analyzes the challenges of implementing EPR and provides useful insights for what has worked well and what challenges remain. Identifying and addressing these challenges will be crucial for framing legislation that will move industry and society toward a more circular economy.
