EPR is one of the necessary tools for financing the collection and recycling of electronics and a range of other waste products. However, its potential benefits depend on their proper implementation, otherwise they may not always be effective in delivering the best environmental sound management.<\/p>\n

The aim of the session will be to share knowledge around practical aspects of EPR schemes and to discuss complementary measures\/solutions that can be considered when working towards functioning EPR schemes. This can include a shift to new business models, the use of supporting policies or the extension of producer responsibility beyond national borders. The session will also debate about an inclusive model of EPR where the informal sector is properly recognised and engaged. This session will dive deep into the economic tools such as EPR but also other complimentary policy measures to increase resource efficiency of electronics along its entire value chain.<\/p>\n
