EPR provides the legal framework for producers to take responsibility for their product and packaging at all stages of their lifecycles and is fast becoming a recognized approach for ‘closing the loop’. But for EPR to really work, we must all play our part.
In this week’s episode, Mike Noel, Public Affairs Director at TOMRA, shines a light on the role consumers play in EPR and Deposit Return Systems. We discuss why it is critical for consumer convenience to be built into the design of collection systems, what we can learn from today’s high-performing EPR systems, and why Deposit Return Systems are a form of EPR, among other things.
