Product stewardship - Extended producer responsibility 1 Product Stewardship is often used interchangeably with Extended producer responsibility, a similar concept. However, there are distinct differences between the two, as suggested by the semantics of the different terms used. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-extended-producer-responsibility-toolkit.html

Extended producer responsibility - Electronics 1 Some argue that local and manufacturer- supported Extended Producer Responsibility laws give manufacturers greater responsibility for the reuse, recycling, and disposal of their own products https://store.theartofservice.com/the-extended-producer-responsibility-toolkit.html

Extended producer responsibility - Advantages 1 When producers either face a financial or physical burden of recycling their electronics after use, they may be incentivized to design more sustainable, less electronic waste|toxic, and easily recyclable electronics.sfn| http://www.epa.gov/epawaste/partnerships/stewardshi p/basic.htmsfn| http://72.10.40.168/commentaries/scarlett_20001004.s html Using fewer materials and designing products to last longer can directly reduce producers' end-of-life costs.sfn| http://www.eprworkinggroup.org/ Thus, Extended Producer Responsibility is often cited as one way to fight planned obsolescence, because it financially encourages manufacturers to design for recycling and make products last longer. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-extended-producer-responsibility-toolkit.html

Extended producer responsibility - Disadvantages 1 Some people have concerns about extended producer responsibility programs for complex electronics that can be difficult to safely recycle, such as Lithium-ion polymer battery|Lithium-ion polymer batteries https://store.theartofservice.com/the-extended-producer-responsibility-toolkit.html

Extended producer responsibility - Implementation 1 A life-cycle perspective is also taken in Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks: “Producers of products should bear a significant degree of responsibility (physical and/or financial) not only for the environmental impacts of their products downstream from the treatment and disposal of their product, but also for their upstream activities inherent in the selection of materials and in the design of products”.Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development 2001, p https://store.theartofservice.com/the-extended-producer-responsibility-toolkit.html
