Europe

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is continuously evolving within the EU, with mandatory reporting currently in most regions for Packaging, Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) and Batteries. While their overall approaches may appear similar, their implementation varies greatly, resulting in a wide variation of rules in different states. Key Directives include:

• EU Directive 94/62/EC of 20 December 1994 on packaging and packaging waste
• EU Directive 2012/19/EU of 4 July 2012 on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE)
• EU Directive 2006/66/EC of 6 September 2006 batteries and accumulators and waste batteries and accumulators
