EPR is a policy strategy in which producers, such as brand owners and product retailers, are responsible for the management of their products and materials, the disposal and recycling fees, after they have served the necessary function to consumers. Embracing end-of-life product management and encouraging the reuse of resources for as long as possible requires the establishment of extended producer responsibility laws. EPR laws require producers to pay regulatory fees to account for the cost of recycling and overall handling of post-consumer materials.
RWDI has environmental stewardship experience in a diverse cross-section of industries including retail (furniture, appliance, electronics, office supplies, outdoor, arts and crafts, automotive wholesale, automotive parts, etc.), consumer pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods (packaged foods, supplements, home hygiene, personal care, etc.).
