PRODUCTION.
The process of creating goods, particularly under the structured guidelines of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) frameworks, plays a crucial role in shaping future waste management responsibilities. This approach emphasizes that manufacturers not only focus on the production and sale of their products but also consider the entire lifecycle of these goods, including their eventual disposal or recycling.
By integrating these responsibilities into the production phase, EPR encourages companies to implement sustainable practices that ultimately lead to more effective and environmentally friendly waste management strategies down the line.
