producer responsibility organizations (PROs)

Producer Responsibility Organizations (PROs) are entities that manage the collection, recycling, and disposal of waste materials on behalf of producers of products like packaging, electronics, or vehicles. They ensure that companies fulfill their environmental obligations by organizing waste management programs, funding recycling efforts, and complying with legal regulations. Essentially, PROs help companies share the responsibility for the environmental impact of their products, promoting sustainable practices and reducing waste’s impact on the environment.
