Lack of transparency in European waste management

The European Commission asked BIO by Deloitte to examine waste management systems in sixteen EU member states, and how successful policies of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) are implemented.

The report demonstrated the need to clearly define EPR, and to fix measurable targets for waste management.

The study focused on six product categories: batteries, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE), end-of-life vehicles, packaging, graphic paper and oils.
