Policy Position

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental policy that holds manufacturers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products, including disposal and recycling. Under EPR, producers must manage the costs and logistics of product waste, encouraging more sustainable designs and reducing environmental impacts.

Governments, primarily at the state level, regulate EPR through laws that target specific products like packaging, electronics, and hazardous materials. States like Colorado have implemented EPR programs that shift the financial burden of waste management from consumers to manufacturers.

EPR laws can increase compliance costs, affect product design, and influence supply chains. As these laws expand, automotive companies may need to adapt to new regulations and consider the recyclability of their products, impacting both business operations and competitiveness in the marketplace.
