Currently, collection, recovery and recycling targets are set collectively for an industry (influenced by lobbying.) Such regulation creates an economic burden on firms, while creating fairness concerns and missing its primary target: environmental benefits. The right policy would (i) make producers responsible for their own waste to avoid fairness concerns and (ii) favor eco-design producers to create stronger environmental benefits. This study has important implication for policy makers, but also industry representatives and managers who (at a time when global warming becomes widely recognized) are interested in improving environmental impacts.
