Study on implementation strategies of EPR-driven remanufacturing in China

Remanufacturing is of great importance to China. Extended producer responsibility, as a new environmental managerial system, provides systematic support to remanufacturing. When following the logic of extended producer responsibility, producers are motivated to exert early efforts at the design stage, and follow up with integrated management over the value chain. The implementation path and implementation conditions of remanufacturing are discussed based on this argument. A case of automobile remanufacturing in China is analyzed with some potential problems identified. Implementation strategies of EPR-driven remanufacturing in China are put forward in the end.
