By placing responsibility for a product's end-of-life environmental impacts on the original producer, EPR policies are expected to enhance design changes to products. Design for Environment (DfE), while reducing waste management costs, should improve product recyclability and reusability, downsize products and reduce material usage. This report discusses the 'Design for the Environment' impacts of EPR policies and investigates the extent to which these policies can contribute to DfE improvements.
