The high amount of waste produced in the world, especially Indonesia, can cause problems due to the inability to manage all the vast amounts of solid waste. Problems caused by this include pollution of water bodies due to the large amount of garbage that is discharged into water bodies. Aesthetic problems, such as in Temporary Shelter (TPS), and Landfill which are still subject to open dumping. And the most important thing is health problems that can be caused indirectly due to waste dumped into the environment. The creation of problems due to solid waste, forcing the discovery of various solutions to overcome these problems. One solution to handling solid waste that has been found is a concept called Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR). EPR was formulated in 1990 by a Swedish citizen named Thomas Lindhqvist, EPR is an environmental management concept intended for use by companies that produce goods that can end up becoming solid waste after being used by consumers. Law 18 of 2008 states that "Manufacturers must manage the packaging and / or goods they produce that cannot or are difficult to degrade by natural processes." This is in line with the EPR concept which focuses on the responsibility of the producer. EPR can help producers who want to contribute more to managing the environment by paying attention to the life cycle of the products produced, especially by recalling products that are no longer used in the community, recycling their products, and paying attention to the place of disposal for their products. This study is intended to determine the most optimal EPR scheme to be implemented by companies established in Indonesia, so it is hoped that these companies can realize EPR implementation on a significant scale. In this research, the solid waste that will be examined is in the form of packaging. The determination of the EPR scheme will use the Analytic Network Process (ANP) method. The results of the calculation show that the criteria for economic instruments (0,218) and regulations and performance standards (0,222) are the main considerations in the selection of alternatives to EPR implementation. Sub-criteria that influence decision making are the application of a deposit-refund system (E2) (0,293) for products labeled EPR (I2) (0,287), government approval of the EPR system (P3) (0,287), selection of recyclable products (A2) (0,263), and producer compliance monitoring (R3) (0,257). The implementation of EPR due to the demands of statutory regulations (0,257) is the preference with the highest weight of the alternative priority synthesis results
