A frequent objective of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes is to ensure secure and safe collection and disposal of substances or products that would otherwise be hazardous or harmful within the general waste stream. Another frequent motivation is to reduce public waste management costs by shifting the burden of collecting and managing significant parts of the waste stream away from tax-financed municipal operations. This section discusses commodity coverage of EPR schemes as well as issues of design, constitution and financing of Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs). It also addresses the establishment and enforcement of EPR performance targets as well as costs borne by industry and consumers.
