EPR in waste management isn't merely needed to help make the rules—it's a move towards circular economy goals. These are the ways by which EPR makes an impact: Encourages Eco-Design: If a firm has to be accountable for after-use, it will try to product-design in a way so that it can be repaired, refurbished, or recycled. Reduces Dump Site and Landfill Waste: EPR for e-waste encourages electronic waste collection in an appropriate way and not dump site and landfill. Increases Recycling Economy: The recycling economy is given a boost with unbroken supply of recyclable material through EPR arrangements. Increases Producer Responsibility: Ecological levers of organisations put them on their toes, keeping them accountable for cleaner habits.
