What is Producer Responsibility Organization?
What is Take back?
Take back, part of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requirements, for producers to collect and recycle or dispose of products at the end of their life. This ensures compliance with regulations, reduces environmental impact, and promotes sustainability by encouraging consumer participation and supporting a circular economy.
Main Waste Management Streams
Tons of WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) are discarded each year by households and businesses worldwide. EEE is strictly regulated to minimize waste and environmental harm. Your business could be impacted if it manufactures, re-brands, imports, or sells EEE products to consumers.
Various battery regulations are in place worldwide to promote efficient, increase recycling and minimize environmental impact. Obligated producers must adhere to these requirements to ensure compliance, drive sustainability and avoid significant fines or penalties.
Businesses around the world must navigate a complex packaging legislation that varies by country. This creates significant compliance challenges and can be resource-intensive, as companies must continually monitor and adapt to changing regulations across multiple jurisdictions.
Textile regulations are being introduced globally, requiring compliance with environmental standards. Proposed changes to the EU Waste Directive may mandate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for textiles, holding producers accountable for the entire product lifecycle.
