Knowledge Exchange on EPR for Circular Economy

Abstract/summary

This Presidency Document discusses the sub-theme of Extended Producer Responsibility for Circular Economy under the broader theme of Encouraging Resource Efficiency and Circular Economy for India’s G20 Presidency. Accordingly, a high-level stocktaking of EPR implementation in G20 members and compilation has been facilitated in the form of this Technical Document, bringing out learnings on mechanisms across the EPR design and implementation cycle. It reflects a distillation and compilation of G20 members’ experiences and may serve as a toolkit for designing EPR mechanisms for countries across the world. This compilation: • Discusses the principles that may be considered while embedding EPR policy in the country context recognizing the differing national priorities and circumstances and need for local adaptation (for e.g. integration of the informal sector in the EPR implementation mechanism in developing countries such as India) • Provides an overview of policy instruments that support goal setting and enforcement of EPR obligations. • Suggests mechanisms followed for collaborative engagement between different stakeholders including regulators, producers and brand owners, local authorities, consumers, retailers, producer responsibility organizations, recyclers, and the suppliers of secondary raw materials.
