Extended Producer Responsibility for Waste Oil, E-Waste and End-of-Life Vehicles

Asuncion Arner

International Journal of Economics and Financial Research, 2020, vol. 6, issue 10, 223-235

Abstract: This paper aims to explore the relationships of the performance of producer responsibility organizations (PROs) for waste oil, waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE), and end-of-life vehicles (ELV). The methodology consists in estimating the cointegration equations between the variables of lubricating oil production (SIG), electric and electronic equipment (EEE), and vehicle production (VP) using dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS). Subsequently, elasticities are got based on estimates for Spain over the period 2007-2019 using quarterly data. The main results were that SIG and EEE were cointegrated variables. The elasticity of the SIG variable up to EEE was positive at 2, 4166. Additionally, the elasticity of the SIG variable up to VP was 2, 4050. However, SIG and VP are not cointegrated variables; subsequently, it was not a stable relationship between these variables. Results suggest it was because EPR was applied in WEEE PRO join with a deposit refund system (DRS); meanwhile, EPR in ELV PRO had been applied without subsidies to purchase cars.
