What is Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)?
EPR is an environmental policy where a producer's responsibility for a product is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product's life-cycle.
Producers could be manufacturers, importers, brand owners, retailers, distant sellers and foreign producers. The inclusion of textiles into EPR schemes aim to improve recycling and reuse rates, and generate positive environmental change on a global scale via incentives and fees.
