Eco-Leader 2.0 Training: Extended Producer Responsibility

In our Eco-Leader 2.0 Trainings, we talk a lot about systemic change. As consumers, voting with our dollars, breaking free from single-use plastics, and recycling and composting are crucial steps to take. But along with that, we have to create systemic solutions to set our whole society up for success and get us out of this linear economy (and into a circular one). One of the things we’ve touched on many times is EPR, or Extended Producer Responsibility.

EPR is a policy approach that holds producers accountable for their role in the waste crisis by requiring them to pay for the recycling of their products and packaging. Join Eco-Cycle resident experts Kate Bailey and Rachel Setzke to learn all about how EPR can improve recycling, create a more equitable recycling system, and how Colorado is moving forward.
