Waste management and Circular Economy/sustainable production and consumption

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Act of 2022
The implementation of EPR law is a crucial step to the Philippines’ transition to the circular economy. In 2015, the Philippines was cited as the third largest contributor to ocean plastic, with approximately 0.75 million metric tons of plastic ending up in the seas and other waterways annually. With the EPR law, corporations with total assets of over PhP 100 million will be required to recover a certain percentage of their plastic packaging waste, or else pay a fine. Companies shall be responsible for allocating resources to support the collection, recovery, transportation, processing, recycling, and disposal of plastic packaging wastes in environmentally-sound ways.
