Business Ethics in the Digital Age
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy approach that holds producers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, especially at the end of their life. This approach encourages manufacturers to design products with disposal and recycling in mind, promoting sustainable practices and reducing waste. By shifting the financial and logistical burden of waste management from taxpayers and municipalities to producers, EPR aims to enhance responsible disposal methods and encourage innovation in product design.
