About this listen
In this episode, we go deep into the definition of EPR. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is the concept of shifting the funding mechanism for dealing with waste away from local governments and onto the companies that produce and sell the package, but what does that really mean? We also dive into "why embrace the change that will need to happen to make EPR successful?"
Discover how Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is revolutionizing waste management and fostering a circular economy in this engaging discussion with Christine Yeager. She explains how EPR shifts the funding mechanism of recycling and waste management from local governments directly to the producers and brands responsible for packaging. Christine also sheds light on the essential work of producer responsibility organizations like the Circular Action Alliance in implementing and enforcing EPR laws. Tune in to understand why Christine emphasizes the importance of a strong recycling infrastructure and the necessity of a national perspective to tackle the challenges of localized recycling and improve nationwide recycling performance.
