Understanding EPR, Waste Management & Regulatory Responsibilities
Practical information to help businesses understand their responsibilities and approach applicable waste-management and EPR requirements more systematically.
Extended Producer Responsibility
Extended Producer Responsibility, commonly known as EPR, places specified responsibilities on applicable entities regarding the management of products or waste covered by the relevant regulatory framework.
Understand Your Role
The applicable responsibilities depend on the role of the organization, such as producer, importer, brand owner or another regulated entity.

EPR requirements differ according to the applicable material or waste stream and the regulatory framework governing that category.

Regulatory Requirements Depend on the Waste Category
Different waste categories may be governed by different regulatory frameworks and may require different registrations, authorizations, records or downstream arrangements.
Plastic Waste
Applicable plastic-related EPR and waste-management requirements should be assessed according to the role and activity of the concerned organization.
Waste Tyres
Waste-tyre activities may be subject to a separate regulatory framework and specific responsibilities.
E-Waste
E-waste activities may involve specific requirements for producers, manufacturers, importers, recyclers and other regulated entities.
Battery Waste
