Abstract

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) has been an important concept in waste management for the last two decades, and approximately 400 EPR programs currently exist in the world (OECD, 2016). However, different perception of EPR tended to fuel policy disputes and confuse relevant arguments. We therefore surveyed stakeholders' perceptions of EPR worldwide and analyzed the results statistically to identify what kinds of stakeholders tended to have particular perceptions.
