Producer Responsibility
Producer Responsibility is a policy approach that holds manufacturers accountable for the entire lifecycle of their products. This means that producers must take responsibility for the environmental impact of their goods, from production to disposal. The goal is to encourage companies to design products that are easier to recycle and have less harmful effects on the environment.
Under this framework, producers may be required to implement systems for collecting and recycling their products after consumers are done using them. This can include initiatives like take-back programs or funding recycling efforts. By promoting sustainable practices, Producer Responsibility aims to reduce waste and promote a circular economy.
