EPR Working Group
The Extended Producer Responsibility Principles were developed by the EPR Working Group, composed of representatives of environmental, labor, health and environmental justice organizations. It grew out of an activist conference on Extended Producer Responsibility held in Toronto in September 2002. Representatives of groups that participated in the Toronto event have been meeting by phone since then to develop a set of clear and strong EPR Principles.
The EPR Working Group held a skillshare in Buffalo July 7 & 8, 2003. To see presentations from the meeting, click here.
The goals of the EPR Working Group are to:
- Create an effective strategy to establish extended producer responsibility (EPR) as a central framework for product management;
- Collaborate to educate target audiences and to win EPR legislation;
- Contribute to and support existing EPR campaigns, both within our countries and internationally.
