Product Stewardship & EPR Operating Model
A reviewable operating framework that separates shared life-cycle responsibility from producer duties at the post-consumer stage, then connects eligibility, return, custody, condition, recovered value and public claims.
Concept hierarchy
Three levels, not interchangeable labels
The word “code” is avoided because it could imply an official or accredited standard.
Product Stewardship
A shared life-cycle approach involving producers, distributors, users and recovery actors.
Extended Producer Responsibility
A policy and operating approach that extends producer responsibility into the post-consumer stage.
Operating flow
Five review gates
Legal applicability depends on the jurisdiction and professional review. This is an independent decision and record-design framework.
Scope
Separate product, market, obligated actor, voluntary boundary and exclusions.
Return
Design eligibility, intake channels, participant information and exceptions.
Custody & Condition
Retain hand-off, condition, data ownership and responsibility records.
Value Route
Compare reuse, remanufacture, recycling and disposal with unit economics.
Evidence & Claims
Bind performance statements, disclosures, approvers and disproof conditions to evidence.
Practical outputs
