Global Waste Market• € 310 billion/yr: The global municipal waste market
• including collection and recycling• equals the GDP of Denmark • Not including the sizeable informal sector
• In developed countries waste management ~ 2% of GDP
• 4 billion tpy waste of which 1.9 billion from households
• 40 million people work in waste management sector worldwide
• 50% are informal

Search for “Global Solutions” is on
Six “big ideas” for accelerating reduction, reuse & recycling1. Enable and empower people locally to adopt “best practices” 2. Green taxes to expand services and change consumer
behavior3. Tradable credits (incent existing recycling industry to do more)4. Make the producer responsible through EPR (fully or shared )5. Collaborative consumption 6. Circular economy (rethink fundamental economic paradigm)
Common objective to scale up perceived best practices
10 OECD, 2001
What is “EPR”? What is “Product Stewardship”?
§ Encompasses EPR and a wider range of public policies and corporate activities § This concept allows for
greater flexibility and opportunity to find effective solutions most appropriate to specific market conditions§ Includes both voluntary and
regulated initiatives.
§ An environmental policy approach in which a producer's responsibility for a product, physical and/or financial, is extended to the post-consumer stage of a product's life cycle. § A wide range of EPR models
have been implemented by legislation globally. (OECD (2001))
Product StewardshipEPR

Core recommendations of the OECD
• OECD recommends the implementation of EPR, leading to:o Increased collection and recycling rateso Reduction of public spending on waste managemento Reduction in overall waste management costso Design for environment (DfE) innovations
• OECD guidelines now under revision and changes will likely include:o Full costs of managing used products should be
allocated to producerso Realities of informal waste collection in developing
countries must be considered in EPR program design
• Packaging• Products with potentially hazardous chemicals:
– Paints, solvents, cleaners, pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fertilizers, etc.
• Lubricating oil• Tires• Waste Electric and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)• End of Life Vehicles• Batteries• Bulky wastes

What are the Key Drivers of EPR?• EPR a reflection of broader transition underway
– Quantifying environmental impacts– Internalizing these costs to producers & users
• Driven by converging forces– Government systemic financial stress– Commercial pressures for greater transparency along
the supply chain– Securing supplies of key strategic materials– Policy innovation & adoption across the OECD
• Recognition that cradle-to-cradle management essential to sustainability

Example of Canada
• No national waste management or single market legislation
• Provinces & states take their own unique approach to EPR– Performance goals – Designated materials– Financial responsibility
• “Framework” EPR legislation vs. material specific
• Industry driving harmonization

EPR Programs in Canada
22
Current Approach in USA to EPR • Limited federal government role: waste
management regulated at state level• Municipal recycling programs financed
primarily by local government– state grants – property taxes, assessments, disposal levies
• EPR being applied to “difficult to manage” products – paint, WEEE, mattresses, etc.
• No national or state legislation on printed paper & packaging

Chile – Draft Law in Congress
• Make value recovery from waste a priority in Chile’s waste management strategy
• Introduce EPR as an economic mechanism to increase the recycling rate of packaging and products for at least 9 categories of goods set by the Ministry of Environment (article 9):
1. Packaging2. Lubricating oils3. Tires4. WEEE/light bulbs5. Batteries6. Vehicles7. Newspapers and magazines8. Expired medicines9. Pesticides
25
Industry responsibilities• Register the quantity of obligated products supplied into
Chile in national database • Organize and finance the collection of priority products waste
in all the national territoryo individually (self-compliance) o through an authorised collective management system
• Deliver their waste to a manager authorised to process itunless the producer handles the waste itself– Solid household or comparable waste shall be delivered to the
relevant municipality or an authorised manager • The penalties for infringements of the law range from
significant fines (up to 10 times the waste management costs) to temporary prohibition of sale of the priority product
26
A blend of global experience• Chile‘s approach to formulating a general framework EPR
law followed by product specific regulations reflects international best practices
• Recognizes the need to involve the informal recycling sector
• Introduces other supporting mechanisms that will make EPR more effective and efficient
• List of “priority products” noted in the legislation would make Chile one of the leading EPR jurisdictions in the world
• Agreeing on general framework for EPR is not easy. Working out product specific regulation through decrees is even more difficult

The Essential Role of “Waste Pickers”
• Worldwide, millions of waste pickers manually remove recyclable items from landfills and urban areas (including in all developed countries):
• India: 1.5 million (2010), mostly women and marginalized groups
• Colombia: 18,000 “recicladores”• Uruguay: 15,000 “clasificadores”• Argentina: 42,000 “cartoneros”• Brazil: 229,000 “catadores”
• Provide essential separation of valuable recyclable materials sold into global markets
• Often working under hazardous conditions

Key issues for industry1. Scale up projects at a quicker rate2. Waste picker well-being 3. Operational efficiency 4. Procurement & quality of material5. Design of packaging & products6. Promote multi-material approaches to recovery & recycling 7. Ground recovery and recycling projects within broader
sustainability thinking 8. Institutional development9. Legislation10.Regional/cultural issues
Broad Waste Recovery GoalsCompany Goal(s)
v Recover 50% of equivalent cans and bottles by 2015. Aiming for 75 percent recovery of the Coca-Cola bottles and cans introduced into developed markets by 2020
v Double the global recycling rate of its’ used beverage cartons by 2020
v Contribute to the collection of materials used in the packaging of Danone products, and when this is not yet in place, try out new collection systems
v Zero manufacturing waste going to landfills: Working to eliminate or reduce solid waste from production processes; identifying ways to repurpose waste as useful raw materials (“Waste-to-Worth”); designing more material-efficient delivery systems
v a 10 percent absolute reduction in total waste disposed off-site using 2010 total off-site waste disposal as a baseline
v 2020 goal: pilot studies in both developed and developing markets
v Increase recycling and recovery rates on average by 5% by 2015, and by 15% by 2020 in our top 14 countries.
v Double the amount of aerosols that gets recycled around the world by 2020.
v Committed to increasing the recyclability of our packaging, increasing recycling of post-industrial packaging related to our products and making sure our containers utilize materials that are compatible with accessible recycling systems
How does this relate to EPR?

Full Public Sector Responsibility
Full Private Sector Responsibility
Shared Responsibility
• Managed by the state or municipalities
• Financed through taxes• Public service
• Private management• Financed through
producers contributions (fees)
• Independent system
• Shared management• Public-Private
Financing• Mutual initiative:
Government & private sector
Post Consumer Waste Management Systems
Full public sector responsibility
Full private sector responsibility
Shared responsibility
Post Consumer Waste Management Systems
• Consumer pays and the government manages the system
• There are no direct financial incentives to improve the type of packaging or product supplied by the producer.
• The producer has full financial and operational responsibility for the operation of the recycling system
• The producer has a direct financial incentive to improve the recyclability of the packaging to reduce end of life management costs
• The producer pays for part of the total system cost and responsibility is shared with local governments
• Both producer and the consumer/local government have an incentive to improve the efficiency of recycling programs
41
Choosing the right approach• You cannot simply copy and paste an EPR model from
another country• Need a solid fact base to ensure that the objectives of
the law are achievable• Test many different program elements to learn what
works best• Ensure that the regulations and financing systems
encourage recycling program effectiveness and efficiency– Regional programs provide economies of scale
• Training and motivating citizens to properly sort priority products for separate collection is the key to success– Most successful national programs build a common recycling

Producer Responsibility Legal Frameworks Demonstrate Clear Benefits
• If combined with other policies: comprehensive solid wastemanagement legislation; charging generators for wastecollection services, mandatory recycling; bans from disposal
• Drives establishment and enhancement of collectioninfrastructure, sorting technology, and recycling capacities
• Fosters investment in modern technology for sorting andrecycling
• Enables competition, and therefore system efficiencies
Thinking about how to link producer responsibility/product stewardship legislation and the informal recycling sectors is just
beginning
