Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach that places the responsibility for the entire life cycle of a product on the producer. It is an environmental policy strategy aimed at reducing the environmental impacts associated with the production, use, and disposal of products.

Under an EPR framework, producers are legally obligated to take responsibility for their products throughout their life cycle, including design, production, distribution, and end-of-life management. This means that producers are required to minimize the environmental and social impacts of their products, promote sustainable production and consumption, and ensure the proper disposal or recycling of products at the end of their useful life.
