==Extender Producer Responsibility==
==References==
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach under which producers are given a significant responsibility – financial and/or physical – for the treatment or disposal of post-consumer products. Assigning such responsibility could in principle provide incentives to prevent wastes at the source, promote product design for the environment and support the achievement of public recycling and materials management goals.<ref>https://www.oecd.org/env/tools-evaluation/extendedproducerresponsibility.htm</ref>

The policy approach is aimed at ensuring producers design their products to make it easier for them to be reused, dismantled and/or recycled at the end of life.
