Abstract

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) as a policy principle has been in practice in different product-country settings for a few decades now, and yet its implementation, as well as the outcomes, have varied. Amid the sustainability crises posed by the take-make-dispose-based linear economy and the transgression of the various planetary boundaries, governments worldwide are increasingly embracing CE-related policies, more so in the EU, with the Green Deal ushering in a wave of legislative transformations. Given this background, there is an urgent need for both policymakers and manufacturers to transition EPR from a mere waste management strategy to what can be termed as an “interface policy”, covering the interdisciplinary areas of circular economy, chemicals and waste law.

Drawing upon insights from academic and grey literature, this paper contributes to characterising the system architecture underpinning EPR. It develops a conceptual framework using a life cycle thinking process through which EPR can be analysed, agreed upon, and operationalised. Such a conceptual framework can be helpful in governmental bodies tasked with framing effective EPR policies and for industry stakeholders responsible for take-back system design and implementation.

设计和实施欧盟 "绿色交易 "下的生产者延伸责任
作为一项政策原则,生产者延伸责任(EPR)在不同产品国家的实践已有几十年,但其实施情况和结果却各不相同。在以 "索取-制造-废弃 "为基础的线性经济所带来的可持续发展危机中,以及在各种地球极限被突破的情况下,世界各国政府正越来越多地采用与生产者延伸责任相关的政策,欧盟的情况更是如此,"绿色交易"(Green Deal)带来了一波立法改革浪潮。在此背景下,政策制定者和制造商都迫切需要将 EPR 从单纯的废物管理策略转变为 "接口政策",涵盖循环经济、化学品和废物法等跨学科领域。本文利用生命周期思维过程建立了一个概念框架,通过该框架可以对 EPR 进行分析、达成一致并使其可操作化。这种概念框架有助于负责制定有效的 EPR 政策的政府机构以及负责回收系统设计和实施的行业利益相关者。
