Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a hot topic in materials management. Should manufacturers be required to take responsibility, financially or otherwise, for the recycling or disposal of the products they produce? Connecticut already has four EPR programs in place. Our experts will how EPR would work for a number of products that are difficult or produce hazardous conditions in the materials management system. These products include, but are not limited to, propane tanks and smoke detectors. This is the second of two EPR discussions in the CRC 2022 Legislative Webinar Series.
