POLICY PULSE - EPR

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a policy approach where producers bear responsibility for the entire lifecycle of their products, including the post-consumption phase. In Egypt, EPR is outlined under the Waste Management Law No. 202 of 2020 and its executive regulations, shifting waste management accountability to producers to reduce environmental impact.

This framework prioritizes sustainable practices, particularly in managing packaging waste, and aligns with global best practices while addressing Egypt's specific waste challenges. Producers must register, disclose packaging quantities, and pay fees based on the type and volume of materials they introduce to the market.
