Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)

is seen to be a critical and effective policy tool to ensure producers are responsible for the end-of-life treatment of their products and packaging.

 

We wrote a report on a customised EPR scheme to address Malaysia's plastic waste pollution by enabling large-scale collection, sorting, and recycling of packaging materials, with strict monitoring and control systems to be implemented by relevant stakeholders

Single Use Plastics (SUP)

pose an acute danger in ASEAN as a hotspot for ocean pollution where inadequate waste management systems, compounded by high consumption, allow millions of tonnes of plastic waste to leak annually into rivers and seas

 

We gathered insights from various stakeholders (including government, industry, and civil society) on the unique challenges and actionable strategies needed to mitigate plastic pollution in Malaysia. The report focuses on identifying and assessing high-risk single-use plastics that are problematic or unnecessary

The ASEAN region has been facing major problems managing SUPs. We partnered with cyclos GmbH in Germany to co-develop a harmonized policy approach report to address problematic, unnessary single-use plastics (SUPs) in the ASEAN region for the World Bank.

 

This report provides a variety of policy instruments addressing SUPs for the ASEAN Member States to implement within their respective countries.
