WP2
EPR schemes: EU State of Play
Work Package Leader: ACR+
Timeline: M1-22
With the goal of assessing the state of play in the EU, the activity focuses on mapping existing EPR schemes and PROs, identifying their main characteristics, and highlighting challenges and good practices for selected schemes to be analysed in depth. Tasks in WP2 include:
T.2.1 Mapping of the existing EPR schemes and PROs in the EU and data collection,
T.2.2 developing a methodology for benchmarking multi EPR schemes’ aspects,
T.2.3. benchmarking for selected EPR schemes
Deliverables in WP2 include:
D2.1 mapping of existing EPR schemes and PROs across the EU,
D2.2 overview of the EPR schemes in the EU,
D2.3 online database providing information on the EPR schemes,
D2.4 methodology for benchmarking EPR aspects,
D2.5 benchmarking report on the strengths and weaknesses of selected EPR schemes around EU.
WP3
EU-wide harmonized register of producers/products subject to EPR obligations
Work Package Leader: ENT
Timeline: M1-23
With the goal of supporting the co-creation of an EU-wide register system, the activity will identify common aspects and best practices emerging from the analysis of existing national registers. Building on this knowledge, it will develop a unified register concept at EU level, which will then be programmed as a web tool and tested with current users of national systems. Tasks in WP3 include:
T.3.1 Stocktake analysis of a set of national producers/products registers across EU,
T.3.2. co-creation of a concept for an EU-wide register of producers/products,
T.3.3. programming the EU-wide register of products,
T3.4. pilot testing of the pilot tool with real cases of producers/products across EU.
Deliverables in WP3 include:
D3.1 Stocktake assessment of existing national registers,
D3.2 EU-wide harmonized pilot (user manual and code),
D3.4 online training video,
D3.6 pilot testing report.
WP4
Networking and co-creation, stakeholder consultation, and policy recommendations
Work Package Leader: ZWE
Timeline: M1-24
With the goal of supporting the creation of the project’s policy outputs and results, the activity aims to ensure their uptake by key entities and individuals with the capacity to drive meaningful change. Tasks in WP4 include:
T.4.1 Creating and facilitating an EU-wide community of experts from academia and stakeholders from different sectors,
T.4.2 stakeholder engagement and consultation,
T.4.3 Policy and Regulatory Recommendations.
Deliverables in WP4 include:
D4.2 Results report with policy and regulatory recommendations,
