MSGO-EcoTech System as a tool to support enterprises in the implementation of extended producer responsibility (EPR)

Abstrakt

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the possibilities of the EcoTech System’s solution to support the implementation of the assumptions of the Extended Producer Responsibility. The research methods used to accomplish this goal are literature studies and case study – “MSGO – EcoTech System”. EU standards impose a high level of recovery and recycling on the Member States.
It is clear that, in order to fulfil the sense of social justice, those who directly contributed to this situation, i.e. consumers and producers, should also participate in this process. However, manufacturers need tools to monitor the efficiency and effectiveness of their operations. The presented “MSGO – EcoTech System” is based on the incentives scheme. The basis is the assumption that companies which declare CSR in their business strategy will join and will participate in the creation of new incentives for citizens. The example confirms that there are modern solutions which can support companies in the implementation of EPR. The obtained results provide guidelines for companies seeking solutions in this area.
