ABOUT TODAY'S EPISODE

We’re joined by Jessika Luth Richter, a postdoctoral researcher at the International Institute for Industrial Environmental Economics. In today’s episode, we cover a lot of ground - we’re talking all things electronics and policy. You’ll hear about the idea of ‘Right to Repair’ that is gaining traction in the US and EU, find out how policies like extended producer responsibility (EPR) relate to circular economy, and more!

ABOUT TODAY'S GUEST

Jessika researches policies and initiatives enabling a circular economy, including extended producer responsibility (EPR) policies, ecodesign policies, green procurement, circular business practices and circular city initiatives. She has experience with qualitative research methods, multi-criteria policy evaluation methods, and quantitative life cycle methods (I.e. LCA, LCC, MFA). She also has experience evaluating environmental economic instruments such as emission trading schemes and green stimulus packages. She is currently researching how different values can be retained in closing loops for electronics products through EPR policies and how policies can support upscaling repair of these products. Jessika is also involved in teaching, including designing and running massive open online courses.
