Episode 181 of the Common Weal Policy Podcast
You can download the episode directly here.
This week, Craig talks to Barry Fisher from Keep Scotland Beautiful about their campaign to end litter in Scotland with a major part of that campaign now looking at Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) or the concept that the producers of devices and packaging that create waste should be responsible for that waste and that products should be designed to minimise or eliminate that waste so that litter is not produced in the first place.
