Demonstrating Innovative Extended Producer Responsibility Solutions for Circular Economy (DemoEPR)

Computer parts

Name: Demonstrating Innovative Extended Producer Responsibility Solutions for Circular Economy (DemoEPR)

Project Leader: Petrus Kautto, SYKE

Duration: Aug 2026 - Jan 2030

IIIEE Researchers: Carl Dalhammar, Luis Mundaca

Financing Body: Horizon Europe 

Aim: While extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes implemented in several countries have appeared as an efficient instrumentto foster particularly recycling systems, they have failed to boost the adoption of circularity strategies higher up in the waste hierarchy, such as designing out of waste, or supporting reuse, repair and refurbish. DemoEPR aims to overcome this challenge by taking a truly transdisciplinary approach and provide new ideas on solutions, by bringing together practitioners, e.g. producers, producer organizations and waste managers, consumer organizations and world-class researchers on EPR, business models, digital systems, consumer behaviour, and the assessment of economic, environmental, and social impacts. Thus the aim is to co-create solutions for optimal EPR schemes of ICT products.
