Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) and Stewardship

Agenda: Nov. 14, 2007 Stakeholder Consultation Workshop on Extended Producer Responsibility Framework

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) generally refers to a policy that seeks to shift the responsibility for the end-of-life (EOL) management of discarded products and materials from local government to primarily private product manufacturers, thereby incorporating the costs of product collection, recycling, and/or disposal into product price, and encouraging product design, source reduction, and reuse so as to have a reduced impact on human health and the environment.

Workshop Purpose

A public stakeholder consultation workshop was held on Nov. 14, 2007 to obtain suggestions for refining and improving the (EPR) Framework adopted at the Sept. 19, 2007 Board Meeting.
