This report aims at exploring the role of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in the transition to a circular economy. It is a synthesis of the concepts exposed in a webinar jointly organized by the Global Alliance on Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency (GACERE) and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in June 2022.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is presented as a key instrument for advancing the circular economy. The discussion then outlines both the theoretical foundations and practical approaches to implementing EPR systems. It concludes with illustrative case studies, enabling readers to draw lessons from real-world experiences, along with curated resources for further, in-depth exploration of the topic
