Executive Summary
Extended producer responsibility (EPR) regulations are rapidly reshaping product sustainability and circular economy strategies worldwide. Organizations face growing pressure to finance or organize the collection, recycling and safe disposal of the products and packaging they place in the market. In response, software vendors and service providers are expanding EPR capabilities through partnerships, dedicated investment, product innovation and digital service models that automate compliance and improve data acquisition and governance. This report examines key regulatory developments across Europe, North America and Asia-Pacific (APAC) and analyses the evolution of the EPR solutions landscape.About the Authors
