Extended producer responsibility programs shift the costs of end-of-life product waste management from the taxpayer to the industry and the consumers of the products. Under this environmental protection policy, producers pay directly for the end-of-life waste management of their products. They may absorb those costs as part of the cost of production or pass them on to consumers in the price of the products.
