Extended Producer's Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy approach where producers are given a significant responsibility—financial and/or physical—for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. Assigning such responsibility could involve the producer being responsible for the disposal of the product once it is no longer useful to the consumer. EPR aims to encourage manufacturers to design products with minimal environmental impact and enhance the recyclability of waste, thereby reducing the burden on municipal waste management systems.
