Approaching Circularity for Packaging via EPR: Producer Perspectives
March 24, 2021 - 17:00 – 18:30 (CET); 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm (EST)

Our three EPR experts will discuss how EPR for packaging can drive a circular economy, change packaging design, foster reuse and source reduction, and combat climate change, all while supporting thriving, competitive markets.

They will address the challenges and opportunities brand owners face in implementing EPR systems and how their views on EPR have evolved over time. They will also discuss whether EPR systems increase consumer product prices, enhance recycling markets, create recycling jobs, and reduce litter.

There will be plenty of time for audience Q&A. Join us for the re-launch of EPR Masterclass with a dynamic panel of industry experts to kick off the 2021 series.
