Abstract

Increased recognition of the limited assimilative capacity of the environment has led to stricter environmental regulation of waste treatment. Recent policy attention has focussed on packaging, mainly because of its high visibility to consumers. This paper studies a Swedish proposal on producer responsability and analyzes economic instruments as an alternative policy instrument. Recent research by Pearce and Turner (1992) and Brisson (1992) has proposed a particular form of a product charge, and here, its application on Swedish packaging waste is analyzed in detail. A packaging charge is calculated for beverage containers and evaluated against the OECD criteria for economic instruments.
