In the past year, the BioDiversity Research Institute has tripled its staff, quintupled its revenues and enlarged its network of scientific studies after the federal government hired BRI to help determine the impacts of last year's Deepwater Horizon oil spill on birds in the Gulf of Mexico.

This research discusses the economic and environmental impacts of extended producer responsibility type of legislation and identifies efficiency conditions. It is shown that the right policy would (i) make producers responsible for their own waste to avoid fairness concerns and (ii) favor ecodesign producers to create stronger environmental benefits.
