This report updates the 2001 Guidance Manual for Governments on Extended
Producer Responsibility (EPR), which provided a broad overview of the key
issues, general considerations, and the potential benefits and costs
associated with producer responsibility for managing the waste generated by
their products put on the market. Since then, EPR policies to help improve
recycling and reduce landfilling have been widely adopted in most OECD
countries; product coverage has been expanded in key sectors such as
packaging, electronics, batteries and vehicles; and EPR schemes are spreading
in emerging economies in Asia, Africa and South America, making it relevant to
address the differing policy contexts in developing countries.

In light of all of the changes in the broader global context, this updated
review of the guidelines looks at some of the new design and implementation
challenges and opportunities of EPR policies, takes into account recent
efforts undertaken by governments to better assess the cost and environmental
effectiveness of EPR and its overall impact on the market, and addresses some
of the specific issues in emerging market economies.
