On 16 November 2022, ACR+ as Secretariat of the EPR Club (a platform for exchange and debate about Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Europe) co-organised an event together with the European Parliament Intergroup on "Climate Change, Biodiversity and Sustainable Development" (EBCD), and the European Circular Economy Stakeholder Platform (ECESP) at the European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) in Brussels. The event aimed at analysing not only the potential wider impacts of EPR on producers (eco-design including eco-modulation of fees, repair&reuse, new business models (leasing, etc), communication campaigns) and consumers (access to information and price signals) but also how EPR schemes can support local initiatives on reducing waste and promoting sustainable consumption (public awareness, boost repair activities). This issue paper aims at gathering the main outcomes of this event, and the key take aways from speakers. It also seeks to present the different issues that are currently at stake in relation to EPR schemes, now that the European Institutions are working on different initiatives such as the revision of the Waste Framework Directive, the proposal for a Batteries Regulation or the proposal for a Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation.
