Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Prompts Changes in the Packaging Industry
The implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is bringing significant changes to the packaging industry, necessitating adjustments from packaging professionals. EPR regulations, such as plastic taxes and deposit return schemes, require packaging producers to bear the full net cost of their packaging. Businesses are seeking expertise to navigate the evolving landscape, prioritize sustainable packaging design, meet EPR requirements, and prepare for the associated costs and administrative burden. With a focus on purposeful action and data-driven decisions, EPR presents an opportunity for businesses to align with environmental goals and achieve superior performance.
