Extended Producer Responsibility Priority Statement 2007

Overview

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Priority Statement 2007 replaced EPR Priority Statement 2005-06. Both statements have been superseded by EPR Priority Statement 2010.

EPR Priority Statement 2007 retained the 'wastes of concern' nominated in the previous statements as well as the fundamental values whereby producers take physical or financial responsibility for the environmental impacts of their products throughout their life cycle. The statement gave notice of the wastes that then Department of Environment and Climate Change might recommend for regulatory action during 2008.
