1. What is EPR?
5
II. EPR – a global policy instrument
“Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers are given a significant
responsibility – financial and/or physical – for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. Assigning such
responsibility could in principle provide incentives to prevent wastes at the source, promote product design for the environment and support the achievement of public
recycling and materials management goals.”

2. Already existing EPR programs

Germany: Implemented in 1991, the German system has proven successful on the European and international stage
European Union: Implementation of EPR schemes in all Member States
North America: EPR programmes cover a wide array of products and are primarily designed and implemented at sub-national level
1. Examples

III. EPR – a complex regulatory approach
Extended Producer Responsibility is increasingly recognised worldwide as an efficient waste management policy to help improve recycling and reduce landfilling of products and
materials.

Asia: EPR schemes and regulations in Japan and the Republic of Korea; implementation process has started in some rapidly emerging economies
OECD: EPR first defined in the 2001 OECD Guidance with a review and update in 2014 (mainly focused on the issue of waste picker)

III. EPR – a complex regulatory approach
![Page 9: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Integration of a large number of actors is necessary:
Obliged parties (industry and retailers)
Collective compliance schemes
Consumer
Municipalities
Private waste management companies
Administration (ministries, law enforcement agencies)
2. Actors

III. EPR – a complex regulatory approach
![Page 10: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Need to coordinate operations of many actors
Financing
Target setting (i. e. recycling quotes)
3. Actor coordination

III. EPR – a complex regulatory approach
![Page 11: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Consideration of:
Settlement structure/coverage
Pre-existing collection systems (public waste collection, informal sector)
Social Structures
1. Adaptation to national specificities
11
IV. Challenges
There are different requirements and conditions in every country → no blueprint for the implementation of EPR!
![Page 12: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Industry and retailers
participation obligation in compliance schemes?
Importing industry
authorized representatives?
Registration requirements
Verification of participation in compliance schemes
Reporting requirements
2. Determination of obliged parties

IV. Challenges
![Page 13: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Approval requirements
Monitoring
Competition between multiple schemes
3. Collective compliance schemes
13
IV. Challenges
![Page 14: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Voluntary participation?
Organization of compliance schemes (household collection / bring system)
Educational work and public awareness components at local and national level (media campaigns)
4. Consultation of consumers
14
IV. Challenges
![Page 15: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Inclusion of municipalities is of greatest importance:
They have a significant political influence regarding the stability of the system.
They are the local link to consumers and the first contact point for all concerns.
They provide information and educational work on site (waste removal calendar, local campaigns etc.)
5. Participation of municipalities
15
IV. Challenges
Crucial question: Do municipalities have to coordinate with take-back systems or
are they legally responsible for the collection?
![Page 16: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Equally important is the inclusion of the private waste management sector:
Inclusion at all levels of the value chain necessary
Essential for sorting and recycling (investments, access to world wide markets)
6. Private waste management sector
16
IV. Challenges
Reliable legal frameworks are necessary to guarantee significant investments of the waste management companies!
![Page 17: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Consultation of ministries (environment, industry, competition, etc.) for approval process and monitoring of supra-regional requirements for obliged parties (compliance schemes, i. e. industry and retailers)
Local monitoring through lower authorities
7. Administrative requirements

IV. Challenges
![Page 18: Presentation dr. fritz flanderka chile](https://reader035.fdocument.pub/reader035/viewer/2022062401/58f053751a28ab812b8b45d1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
EPR has proven successful on the international stage and will gain further acceptance.
The reasons for implementing EPR vary – economic factors are often as important as environmental ones.
There is no one size fits all!
When implementing EPR there is a wide range of challenges which need to be met. → The devil is always in the details!
EPR programs can only be succesful when adapted to the local conditions. The inclusion of all relevant actors needs to be ensured!
Before starting EPR programs, it is a necessity that the law is in force. Every party needs to know it‘s role!
