U.S. EPA Launches a Web Site on Extended Product Responsibility (EPR)
http://www.epa.gov/epr
The U.S. EPA's Office of Solid Waste has launched its Web site on Extended
Product Responsibility (EPR). The EPR Web site is designed to inform consumers,
businesses, state and local government agencies, and others about this powerful
concept. EPR is a product-oriented approach to environmental protection that
challenges players throughout the product chain to work together to reduce the
life cycle environmental impacts of products. The site provides information on
the concept, what initiatives are underway in the US and internationally, and a
wealth of related resources such as public-private alliances, academic research,
publications, involved organizations, and more. The electronics and the
packaging product sectors are featured now; special sections on other products
will be added in future updates.
