TL;DR: The results prove the theory which states that, competing consortia use the learning effects to reduce the contribution fees for producers rather than to increase the quantity collected, which remains the most important actor in WEEE collection operations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the level of durability to be built into the parts of a product and show that, assuming a linear cost/durability tradeoff, there are discrete durability levels for each part to select from, and that the optimal durability level for a part depends on: (1) the quantity of products remanufactured, (2) the profit margin of re-manufactured products, and (3) the recovery rate of leased products.

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to shed light on the main aspects of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), a widely used principle of environmental policy, looking through the lens of EU waste law and policy, as this is currently evolving. The main discussion will revolve around the opportunities of moving towards a more effective EPR and adopting more effective policy instruments. Emphasis will be given to the definition of EPR, to its content and to implementation schemes in EU law especially as regards the role of EPR in achieving the challenging targets which exist relating to waste management and product design requirements under the Circular Economy Package, while at the same time highlighting the inter-relationship between waste and product laws.

TL;DR: A systematic, interdisciplinary systems management framework was developed to facilitate the planning, implementation, and maintenance of sustainable waste systems and can serve as a systems management tool for complex waste systems, as well as address obstacles typically faced in the field.
