With the PPWR obligations approaching, particularly regarding design for recycling, recycling at scale, and recycled content targets, the need for well-functioning and effective EPR systems is increasing dramatically.
But what is the current situation? And how should a well-functioning EPR system be structured, especially given the diverse realities across Europe?
EXPRA has conducted extensive work over the past few years to identify options for how an EPR system—or a Producer Responsibility Organization—should be designed.
During the webinar, they will share these options and facilitate an interactive discussion on how we can improve our systems across Europe, and perhaps even globally in all countries with EPR.
Joachim Quoden is the Managing Director of EXPRA, an alliance of 34 non-profit and industry-owned Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) across 31 countries.
With over 30 years of expertise in packaging waste management and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), Joachim has held key roles, including Secretary General of PRO EUROPE and Head of International Affairs at Der Grüne Punkt. He is actively involved in global sustainability initiatives such as CEFLEX, HolyGrail 2.0, and 4EverGreen, and is recognised as a leading authority on EPR and circular economy strategies.
