What happens to a product after use? In South Africa, Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) requires businesses placing certain products on the market to help fund and enable their collection, recycling and responsible end-of-life management. #EPR #eWASA

Community recycling brings responsible e-waste management closer to residents, supporting material recovery, local livelihoods and environmental protection. #eWASA #eWasteManagement #SouthAfrica #CircularEconomy #Sustainability

What does your EPR fee support? Collection, transport, storage, sorting, recycling and treatment, plus reporting and traceability. Explore how these stages connect to manage products responsibly after use in our carousel. #EPR #eWASA
