Ok friends….if you’re from Ateneo and would like to learn something new, then why not drop by and show me some lovin’ support:
.
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR): A Waste Reduction Strategy to Promote Clean Production and Pollution Prevention
.
…as part of the requirements to fulfill my quest for higher learning, I’ll be presenting a seminar on the above mentioned topic on Monday, March 6, 6-7pm at the Lecture Hall 3 (SEC-C 201)… In a nutshell, EPR is a product and waste management system in which manufacturers – not the consumer or the government – take responsibility for the environmentally safe management of their product when it is no longer useful or discarded. In other words, a company must be concerned not only with making and selling the product, but also with what will become of the product at the end of its useful life… This would prevent packaging materials (plastic bags, shampoo sachets, styro scraps and other schtuff) from clogging our drainage systems when they are disposed away without thought, or hazardous materials from leaking into our soils and water systems when old computers and other electronic waste are junked into the garbage dumps when they become obsolete…Since companies are so aggressive in developing and selling their products, it should only be fair that they would also take the same stance in implementing environmentally sound policies that would prevent the further degradation of the environment and human health…
