European EPR Club

ACR+ has created the EPR Club, a new exchange platform on EPR schemes in Europe aiming at benchmarking on recycling performances, European harmonization, fair competition, public control or best practices.

New Extended Producers Responsibility (EPR) schemes are developed all around Europe, promoted by the European Institutions as a powerful tool to increase recycling of packaging, electronic waste, batteries and other types of waste. The ACR+ EPR Club will gather different stakeholders (public authorities at all levels, EPR schemes, waste management companies, material federations, NGOs, Academics) and allow a dialogue on the EU policy developments and technical implementation of EPR schemes throughout Europe. It will both focus on existing EPR schemes and future perspectives.
