Obligations on waste production
Textes réglementaires relatifs aux déchets

Under both EU and national regulations, waste producers are subject to specific obligations of three types:

• an obligation to reduce the environmental impact of the product, from design to disposal, through Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR);

• an obligation to provide information;

• obligations arising from cross-border shipments of waste.

The more hazardous the waste, the more stringent these obligations become.
