The Global Action Partnership for Extended Producer Responsibility (GAP for EPR), in collaboration with key stakeholders, invites you to an insightful online session discussing the results of our pilot projects in Argentina and Malaysia.

About the Session:

The GAP for EPR Helpdesk was designed to offer tailored technical support to governments and Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs) on the design and implementation of effective Extended Producer Responsibility systems.

Over the past six months, we have worked closely with CEMPRE Argentina and the Malaysian Recycling Alliance (MAREA) to assessing the status of EPR and providing policy recommendations, identifying well-suited PRO models, and giving technical advice on PRO operation.

In this session, our project team will share their approach, challenges, and key findings from the pilot projects.
