Answer 1

The impact of Germany’s policy of making manufacturers responsible for packaging waste was primarily increased recycling rates. This policy, known as the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), incentivized manufacturers to design products with less packaging and to take back their products after use, leading to higher rates of recycling and waste recovery.
