Understanding EPR
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a regulatory framework that places the responsibility for the entire lifecycle of packaging, including post-consumer waste, on the companies that place packaged goods on the market.
How Ilpra Can Help.
At Ilpra, we understand that EPR can feel complex and challenging to navigate. That is why we work closely with our customers to break down the regulations into clear, practical steps. From choosing the right packaging solutions that align with recyclability targets to advising on material efficiency, we help companies move toward compliance while also building a stronger sustainability profile. Our packaging technologies are designed with sustainability in mind, helping businesses reduce material use, increase recyclability, and minimize waste. With Ilpra as your partner, you can stay ahead of regulations, meet your EPR obligations, and contribute to a more responsible and sustainable future.
Practical Steps to Reduce EPR Costs.
- Companies can lower their EPR obligations and contribute to sustainability by making small but significant changes, such as:
- Switching to recyclable or mono-material packaging to simplify waste processing and reduce fees.
- Reducing packaging weight and volume without compromising product safety or quality. Optimizing packaging design to minimize unnecessary layers or components.
- Incorporating recycled materials where possible, aligning with circular economy goals.
- Investing in efficient packaging machinery that minimizes waste during production.
Ilpra helps businesses take these steps by providing innovative packaging machines and guidance on material choices that meet both functional needs and sustainability targets. With our expertise, companies can reduce their EPR costs while demonstrating their commitment to environmental responsibility.
