New EPR study reveals lack of transparency and availability of packaging data

摘要

Comparing and contrasting the different extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes for packaging and other materials such as waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) are handicapped by the lack of transparency and availability of reliable data, particularly in the WEEE sector. That was one key message of the long awaited BIO Intelligence Service (BIO IS) study on the development of guidance for EPR schemes called for by the European Commission last year.
