Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes are a cornerstone of Europe’s transition to a circular economy, but their implementation varies widely across member states. For producers operating across borders, this patchwork of regulations creates complexity, inefficiencies, and uncertainty. As discussions around harmonisation gain momentum at the EU level, understanding the perspectives of Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) is critical to shaping effective and scalable solutions.
This strategic roundtable brings together representatives from leading PROs across Europe to share insights on the challenges and opportunities of aligning EPR systems. We’ll explore current points of divergence, emerging best practices, and what a harmonised approach could mean for compliance, data management, and circular outcomes. Designed for policymakers, brands, and industry stakeholders, this session offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with those at the frontline of EPR implementation.
