Most Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) laws focus on the end-of-life management of covered materials sold or used within the country. Responsibility for paying fees on these materials can vary across the supply chain. EPR laws may designate different entities—such as manufacturers, distributors, or retailers—as responsible for compliance. Notably, producers may be required to adhere to these laws even if their business headquarters is located outside the region where the product is sold or used.
