Abstract
The results achieved in a short period of time suggest that the evolution of the implementation of the EPR concept in Portugal was, so far, successful, not only in quantitative but also in qualitative terms (contributing for a reduction of environmental performance). However, there is still room for improving EPR impact in the long-run and this is largely dependent on policy instruments (of fiscal, information and supervision natures) that can positively influence the context in which EPR schemes operate.
