The human society has experienced a rapid economic development, but also accompanied by depletion of natural resources and serious environmental pollution facts. Improve the utilization of resources in order to solve a large number of waste generated, enabling the development of society as a whole economic cycle, extended producer responsibility system has been generated. Extended Producer Responsibility (Extended Producer Responsibility, hereinafter referred to as the EPR system) is a new type of environmental policy, its producer responsibility extends to the upstream and downstream of the product life cycle, in particular, focus on product recycling of post-consumer waste, and then use and disposal of responsibility, in order to achieve environmental protection within the entire life cycle of products. Since 1988, Swedish scholar, Professor Thomas put forward the concept of extended producer responsibility, EPR system has experienced 20 years of development, has been maturing in the theory and practice, typical representatives: Sweden, Germany, the United States, Japan, and the EU . Relative to developed countries, the theory and practice of the EPR system, the EPR system in our country is still in the early stages of development, both theoretically in the EPR or EPR practice, with the developed countries there is a big gap. Less the face of China's per capita resources, waste generation and environmental destruction of facts, establish and improve the EPR system is imperative, the imperative task. Recycling economy development model has become China's future economic development mode, and the EPR system is an important part of the recycling economy, has an important significance to achieving sustainable development. EPR system today has been a great concern of China's academia, academic depth, systematic study, and with the introduction and implementation of the \trend. Combing through the EPR system concept development process, the elaboration of the theoretical basis of the system and examine the status of implementation of the EPR system in developed countries, and seeks to establish and improve our EPR system a useful reference. This paper is divided into four parts. Combing the development process of the EPR thought the first part, two representative of the view that the EU point of view \elements. The second part, the author focuses on the theoretical basis of the EPR system, elaborate product life cycle, corporate social responsibility, environmental rights, sustainable development, circular economy five theoretical EPR system relations. The third part, the author introduces a few of the more developed countries such as Sweden, Germany, the United States, Japan and the European Union and the EPR legislation and analysis of their characteristics, based on the implementation of the object, the embodiment The implementation of ways and supporting systems. The fourth part of the author analyzes the status quo of China's EPR legislation, lack of EPR legislation, combined with the necessity and feasibility of the implementation of the EPR system from the legislative level, the EPR system in line with China's national conditions.
