Extended producer responsibility (EPR) is a proposed policy approach to promoting the circular economy (CE) within the European Union. This research used a policy Delphi to explore perspectives on improving EPR policies to further contribute to the CE goals of the Netherlands. Both the potential improvement and critical reflections discussed by CE and EPR experts and practitioners from this study contribute to a more detailed understanding of the future governance of CE practices. We present various activities to improve EPR and insights from Delphi participants that emerged from the study. This paper shows that whilst actors agree, in essence, that there is a need for modifying EPR, what the specific changes to the form are and to whom the new responsibilities apply is contested.

生产者延伸责任在循环经济中的作用的未来展望：以荷兰为例的德尔福研究

生产者责任延伸 (EPR) 是一项提议的政策方法，旨在促进欧盟内部的循环经济 (CE)。本研究使用 Delphi 政策来探索改进 EPR 政策的观点，以进一步促进荷兰的 CE 目标。CE 和 EPR 专家和从业者从本研究中讨论的潜在改进和批判性反思都有助于更详细地了解 CE 实践的未来治理。我们展示了各种活动来改善 EPR 和来自研究中出现的德尔福参与者的见解。本文表明，虽然参与者在本质上同意需要修改 EPR，但对表格的具体变化是什么以及新责任适用于谁是有争议的。
