Dive into a crucial topic that’s shaping the future of sustainability and business best practices – Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR).
As industries and consumers alike are becoming more focused on environmental impact, EPR has emerged as a cornerstone of governmental policy that shifts responsibility for product (and packaging) disposal and recycling back onto companies that produce and profit from it.
In this recorded webinar, you will learn:
- What is EPR and why it matters
- How EPR affects businesses
- Compliance and reporting obligations in Canada
- New developments on EPR policy in the United States
- Next steps to take back to your organization
This session is especially valuable for producers — including brand owners, first importers, and manufacturers — whose products are sold or distributed in Canada, the USA, or internationally.
It also explores EPR categories such as packaging waste, electronic waste (EEE), hazardous waste, battery waste, and fashion waste.
