From reducing landfill waste to incentivizing sustainable designs, EPR empowers businesses to take ownership of their environmental footprint. EPR is a policy that holds producers accountable, reduces public waste management costs, and supports the transition to a circular economy. 💡 Ready to navigate EPR regulations with confidence? Scrapp provides the data-driven tools you need to support with compliance. Read on below 👇 https://lnkd.in/egq3VF6C #EPR #CircularEconomy #Sustainability #ZeroWaste #Scrapp
