What is EPR

Extended Producer Responsibility, otherwise known as Product Stewardship, is the concept of manufacturers and brand owners taking environmental responsibility for their products and the associated packaging when they become waste.

This involves arranging waste collections, recycling or suitable disposal in a manner that minimises its environmental impact. It also involves engaging and encouraging the public to take responsible environmental action with regards to your products.

We will encourage your business to work in partnership. This means that expertise from each sector can be harnessed to collectively produce positive social, economic and environmental impacts. This unique partnership approach generates a variety of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) opportunities for UK based public, private and third sector businesses.
