This paper is an appendix to “Building a Circular Economy for Packaging: A View from the Consumer Goods Industry on Optimal Extended Producer Responsibility”, developed by The Consumer Goods Forum Plastic Waste Coalition of Action (PWCoA) and first published in August 2020.
To progress towards a circular economy, PwCoA believes that the performance of waste management and recycling systems throughout the world needs to urgently improve. Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) programmes for packaging can accelerate this progress and provide critical and effective support to recycling, particularly when the right conditions are in place for a given market.
