EPR schemes and the tobacco industry: A game of cat and mouse in the EU regulatory landscape

As the EU moves towards implementing more comprehensive Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) schemes for tobacco products, the tobacco industry is likely to respond in ways that minimize the impact on their revenues. This presentation will explore potential industry strategies, including product redesign, lobbying, and the use of EPR funds for sustainable product development, and discuss the challenges these present for effective tobacco control. It will also explore hypothetical scenarios of how the industry can leverage EPR to undermine WHO FCTC provisions for all tobacco products waste, including novel products.
