Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an environmental framework & policy that reinforces the producer’s responsibility (rather than the consumer's) for the post-consumer state of a product’s lifecycle. Is your company prepared?

What you need to know about Extended Producer Responsibility
EPR frameworks and policies shift the burden of waste management from consumers and local governments to the actual producers of plastic packaging. While EPR can be considered a nice-to-have framework for circularity-conscious companies, it is quickly becoming a mandated framework for packaging & materials companies in South Africa and the EU.
How BanQu helps you with EPR
END-TO-END VISIBILITY
Thanks to our blockchain-based tech and on-the-ground implementation teams, we help companies map their value chains, gaining cradle-to-cradle visibility of their packaging & materials.
PRIMARY CIRCULARITY DATA
While we can integrate with any legacy or operating systems, as well as satellite imagery databases, the circularity and recycling data captured throughout your value chain on BanQu is primary, verifiable, and auditable for EPR compliance.
REAL-TIME CIRCULARITY REPORTS
Once you have all of this great, reliable data in one place, you can use BanQu to generate customizable circularity reports at the click of a button. As needed, you can easily share your reports with stakeholders and auditors to prove your circularity & recycling efforts.
Frequently Asked Questions
BanQu’s blockchain-based solutions help companies track their packaging & materials circularity cradle-to-cradle throughout their supply chains with primary, auditable data and reports. Making tracking and reporting on EPR a breeze.
We start by mapping out the value chain(s)s you need to track and implement the software for you on the ground, so you can easily collect and report on primary circularity & recycling data as needed.
EPR is quickly becoming a requirement for packaging & materials companies in major packaging regions of the world — such as South Africa, the EU, and Canada. These regions have historically set regulatory precedents in the recycling industry that are then later adopted more widely. So whether your company is based in one of those regions, or needs to kickstart its EPR journey to get ahead of the sustainable packaging curve, we recommend getting on the EPR train as soon as possible.
