| | EPR: What Does It Mean? Where Is It Headed? |
 | | EPR legislation for EEE has already been adopted in Switzerland, the Netherlands, Italy, and Norway, and is close to adoption in many other countries. |
 | | The target for EPR is the remaining 25 percent: the mixed materials (plastic, rubber, glass, textiles, fluids, and paint) that are often contaminated with hazardous substances such as lead, cadmium, waste oil, and PCBs. |
 | | EPR programs driven by the threat of legislation are not truly voluntary, and fall midway along the continuum. |
