Exploration of the Role of EPR for the circular economy in NL
This report is plublished by advisory organization Ey. In order to support and inspire Dutch policy makers and stakeholders, this report discusses potential pathways to extend EPR with respect to eco-design and other aspects of the circular economy.
The report draws upon insights of international literature and a review of Expended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes in France, Belgium (Flanders) and the Netherlands. Also, some insights from Denmark and Sweden are used but the reviews of EPR in these two countries have only a narrow scope. Moreover, three well-known producers that have extensive experience with EPR in different countries (IKEA, Philips and C&A) have contributed to this report by giving their reflection on the identified pathways.
