Producer Responsibility Organizations drive successful implementation of EPR policies
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy that defines the responsibilities for producers, manufacturers, and importers of products regarding the treatment and disposal of products once they reach the end-of-life stage. EPR encourages producers for “lower environmental impact” design and environmentally friendly disposal.
Some producers are fulfilling the EPR requirements using their internal forces. However, majority cooperate with Producer Responsibility Organizations that provide full-management of post-consumer take-back, collection, and recycling and ensure the producer’s compliance with the regulations.
PROs service the collective needs of industry
Producer Responsibility Organizations are collective nationally operating bodies that provide compliance with the legislative requirements and EPR policy of producers on their behalf and against a financial contribution on their part. PROs organize post-consumer take-back, ensure recovery and recycling targets, promote eco-design, educate on waste prevention, verify the data and report to national authorities.
The legal responsibility of PROs for the fulfilment of required targets puts high expectations on their knowledge, management, and operations. Digital transformation of some of the core activities can significantly relieve the manual workload, enhance transparency, automation, and accurate reporting.
