Description

Research on EPR and its practical application have been promoted since Lindhqvist published his seminal work on this topic in 2000. In connection to this, OECD published the first Guidance Manual on EPR in 2001, accelerating the implementation of EPR in quite a few countries. A revised version of the Guidance Manual on EPR published by OECD in 2016, based upon Lindhqvist′s ideas and the first guidance manual, has shown a new horizon for EPR as well as to acknowledge problems to be overcome. The present paper examines and evaluates the new Guidance Manual from an economist viewpoint, revealing possibilities for newly developing the 3R concept that grew out of EPR. It also refers to some of the difficulties that are intrinsic to EPR.
