Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) as Corporate Social Responsibility: a Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

 This activity results in waste from plastic materials increasing every year. This condition requires the 
government to make a policy that can control the amount of unmanaged plastic waste. One of them is with extended 
producer responsibility (EPR). This article aims to analyze the publication trend of scientific research results related 
to EPR. The results in network visualization, the most commonly found keyword is extended producer responsibility. 
This can be seen that the keyword extended producer responsibility has a larger circle size than other keywords. The 
larger the size of the circle, the more widely used the keyword has been. In the visualization of the latest overlay 
regarding a research topic, it is shown in brighter colors. Bright yellow colors are review, cooperation, and plastic 
waste. Meanwhile, keywords with darker circles are problem, government, and corporate social responsibility. This 
illustrates that the topic has been discussed for quite some time. The results of the visualization showed that the 
keywords legal framework, problem, solution, cooperation, and corporate social responsibility looked dimmer than 
other keywords. This shows that these keywords are still few and not diverse in research and so there is an opportunity 
to be used as research in the future.
