OECD definition:
EPR is an environmental policy approach in which producer’s responsibility… is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product’s life cycle

• All models require strong governmentinvolvement:– To enforce a level playing field
– To enforce environmental standards and targets
• EPR can not be run by the private sectoron its own
• Transparency is paramount for effective government oversight

EPR and competition
• Competition impact assessments should beintegrated into design of EPR
• PRO established as single operator only if net benefits can be demonstrated
• Services that PROs procure should be procured by transparent, non-discriminatory and competitive tenders – Relevant factors include contract duration,
recovery of sunk costs, and principle of non-exclusivity
![Page 22: EPR UPDATED OECD GUIDANCE - Regional … · Objectives: •Assist governments that are considering introducing new or revisiting existing EPRs •Update 2001 OECD guidance Manual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022605/5b77a6397f8b9ade6f8d6cc2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
EPR and DfE
• So far little impact on DfE due to use of CPR rather than IPR
• Variable fee CPRs preferable to fixed-fee CPRs
• Modulation of fees according to design is an option, but administrative costs need to be assessed
• Full cost recovery important to maximise incentive effect
![Page 23: EPR UPDATED OECD GUIDANCE - Regional … · Objectives: •Assist governments that are considering introducing new or revisiting existing EPRs •Update 2001 OECD guidance Manual](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022605/5b77a6397f8b9ade6f8d6cc2/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
EPRs and the informal sector
• Emerging economies have a large informal sector that has a potentially important role in EPRs.
• Need to distinguish between types and impacts of informal sector:
• Failure to include the informal sector into EPR can undermine them
• Need to register waste pickers and work towards formalisation and professionalisation
• Informal sector should be actively engaged in discussion for establishment of EPRs
Positive impacts Negative impacts
In collection and sorting, the informal sector can provide positive economic and environmental impacts Unsound practices need to be
eliminated (e.g. informal processing)Some evidence that informal systems collect more material than formal
