Environment | A circular economy keeps materials in use through reuse, recycling and recovery instead of treating them only as waste.
EPR means Extended Producer Responsibility. At the CII Circular Economy Conference in New Delhi, Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav explained the role of producers, importers and brand owners in environmentally sound management of end-of-life products. The release connected EPR with recycling, resource recovery and financial incentives for recyclers. It also stressed coordination between government, industry and urban local bodies.
