| Abstract | Plastics pollution has been recognized as a global crisis. This cross-cutting issue touches on several of WWF’s conservation priorities, including Oceans, Freshwater, Wildlife and more. To address this crisis, the WWF network has set a goal of “No Plastic in Nature by 2030” which aims to stop the flow of plastics into nature by eliminating unnecessary plastic items; doubling reuse, recycling, and recovery; and ensuring the remaining plastic is sourced responsibly. WWF has identified Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as a critical policy tool with a track record to hold manufactures accountable for their plastic products and packaging’s end-of-life impacts, as well as to encourage holistic ecodesign in the business sector. Thus, the WWF Network EPR project, by facilitating partnerships among various stakeholders and sharing best practices globally, hopes to promote and enhance the adoption of EPR schemes and reduce plastic leakage to nature. |
