Join the webinars to gain a fundamental understanding of EPR, including environmentally safe collection and more. The webinars set a special focus on the recycling of packaging waste, due to the urgent need of functional financial and infrastructural mechanisms to address the global waste crisis.
The webinars seek to leave decisionmakers, negotiators, and governmental authorities with:
- A better understanding of various concrete implementation models, including their preconditions, advantages and disadvantages,
- A sense of the roles and responsibilities in an EPR system,
- A comprehensive overview of legislation, standards, and sanctions in order to make EPR regulatable and implementable in practice.
The webinars will bundle the joined experiences and expertise of GAP for EPR partners and helpdesk experts, including GIZ, Ellen MacArthur Foundation, OECD, and Oeko-Institut. They feature the following agenda:
- Introduction to EPR – Basic facts and key principles
- Success factors and best practices for its implementation
- Guided in-depth discussion of technical questions related to EPR
