Georgia: Adopted recycling targets for products subject to extended producer responsibility (EPR)

In July 2024 Georgia adopted Order that sets our recycling targets for different types of wastes within the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) framework.

The Order established rules for determining the quantities of different types of waste, required to achieve the target indicators of collection, reuse, recycling and recovery specified in the technical regulations on specific waste within the Extended Producer Responsibility.

The rules are based on data on generated, collected, pre-treated, recycled, recovered and reused waste and quantities of products placed on the market.

Target indicators of collection, reuse and recovery, including recycling, are determined by the relevant technical regulations governing a particular type of product subject to EPR.

Products subject to EPR include:

-          tyres

-          technical oils

-          batteries and accumulators

-          portable accumulators

-          electrical and electronic equipment and devices (EEE).
