Forurensningsloven is Norway's foundational pollution-control and waste law that establishes the legal basis for EPR schemes, producer responsibility, and circular-economy stewardship across multiple product categories; enacted 1981, amended repeatedly, it remains the primary statutory framework enabling Norway's EPR regulations and waste-management obligations on producers and importers.
