The transition to EPR-based recycling starts with local governments setting the goal. A critical step in the transition to EPR-based recycling is issuing, through a resolution or ordinance, a declaration that the jurisdiction aims to start phasing out the provision of end-of-life product management services that are free to the makers of toxic and disposable products. Local EPR resolutions may:
establish a preference for take-back
provisions in purchasing contracts;
specify a range of problem products to investigate for local actions; and
call on state government to pass producer responsibility legislation.
