WWF Malaysia: EPR Policy Review Report

Malaysia generates 14 million tonnes of waste annually, with 43.7% being recyclables. Much waste still goes to landfills. To tackle plastic pollution, Malaysia is considering an Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme. Producers would pay fees for their packaging, used to enhance recycling and encourage recyclable designs. This report recommends a dedicated EPR regulation with a single, industry-led Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO). The timeline suggests a three-year plan to formulate the regulation, involving stakeholders, and a five-year implementation, starting with Act 672 states and later extending to non-Act 672 States.

Economic impacts to consumers from EPR regulation in the consumer packaged goods sector

It uses this estimate as a foundation, combined with food price elasticities and the analysis of expected burden-sharing between suppliers and consumers of the increase in packaging costs due to EPR requirements to construct an orders-of-magnitude estimate of the maximum increase in grocery bills that an average US consumer should expect as a result of a nationwide adoption of EPR regulation.

This paper presents a discussion of relatively novel applications of EPR to additional product groups (plastic products beyond packaging, textiles, construction materials, and food waste) and to environmental impacts (design considerations, pollution and littering) that occur throughout the product lifecycle. Based on select case studies, it evaluates the successes and challenges that early adopters of applying the EPR approach to new product groups or additional environmental impact categories have experienced. It reviews the arguments for further application of EPR, possible limitations and provides guidance on when and how to best apply an EPR.

Policy Brief - EPR for Packaging Waste in Vietnam

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a key concept for ‘closing the loop’ in the packaging value chain, in line with circular economy principles. It is based on the principle that whoever introduces packaging or packaged goods into a country’s market remains responsible for it until the end of the packaging life cycle, including after disposal. The EPR Policy Brief is a framework document for decision-makers to address the key principles and share international experiences on EPR mechanisms and legal frameworks.

The report proposes an innovative policy solution to address the impacts of products on climate change, pollution, biodiversity and social inequity – all of which are driven by overconsumption. This report builds on traditional extended producer responsibility (EPR) policy, which focuses on end-of-life waste management, to better incentivise producers to minimise material use and move towards a more circular economy.

Unraveling the Complexity of Extended Producer Responsibility Policy Mix Design, Implementation, and Transfer Dynamics in the European Union

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging was introduced to achieve closed-loop end-of-life management and design for recyclability and is an integral part of the European Union's (EU) environmental policy mix. This article links previously isolated components of EPR and studies the design, implementation, and transfer of EPR systems in 25 European countries through a developmental approach. It extends EPR theory by systematizing EPR design features at three hierarchical levels: system scope, responsibility allocation, and instrument type.

Why are Biobased and Biodegradable Plastic not Part of the Solution to Reduce Plastic Waste?

. In a dilemma between ecological perspectives on single-use plastic and the convenience that this type of plastic packaging offers, biobased and biodegradable plastic have been discussed as an alternative to fossil-based plastics for quite some time. Environmental benefits are often attributed to biobased and biodegradable plastic because “bio” is understood to mean “environmentally friendly”. This report assesses and analyses the substitution of conventional plastic with biodegradable or biobased plastic.

Considerations for Packaging Classification

Globally, packaging waste has increasingly become an environmental problem. The problem is the large volume, the high resource intensity in production, the low recycling and recovery rates and the extent of litter caused by packaging. But packaging is, of course, not meant to be a ‘waste’. In the first place, it has important functions and is very useful e.g. for product transport, storage and for consumer information. Primarily, packaging is made up of valuable resources and does not have to reach its end-of life after a single use.

Based on select case studies, it evaluates the successes and challenges that early adopters of applying the EPR approach to new product groups or additional environmental impact categories have experienced. It reviews the arguments for further application of EPR, possible limitations and provides guidance on when and how to best apply an EPR.

Policy Brief - EPR for Packaging Waste in Vietnam

Publisher: Rethinking Plastics
Region: Asia
Year: 2020
Language: English
Format: PDF

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is a key concept for ‘closing the loop’ in the packaging value chain, in line with circular economy principles. It is based on the principle that whoever introduces packaging or packaged goods into a country’s market remains responsible for it until the end of the packaging life cycle, including after disposal. The EPR Policy Brief is a framework document for decision-makers to address the key principles and share international experiences on EPR mechanisms and legal frameworks.

Unraveling the Complexity of Extended Producer Responsibility Policy Mix Design, Implementation, and Transfer Dynamics in the European Union

Publisher: Pruess, Jakob T. (in: Journal of Industrial Ecology)
Region: Europe
Year: 2023
Language: English
Format: PDF

Extended producer responsibility (EPR) for packaging was introduced to achieve closed-loop end-of-life management and design for recyclability and is an integral part of the European Union's (EU) environmental policy mix. This article links previously isolated components of EPR and studies the design, implementation, and transfer of EPR systems in 25 European countries through a developmental approach. It extends EPR theory by systematizing EPR design features at three hierarchical levels: system scope, responsibility allocation, and instrument type.

. In a dilemma between ecological perspectives on single-use plastic and the convenience that this type of plastic packaging offers, biobased and biodegradable plastic have been discussed as an alternative to fossil-based plastics for quite some time. Environmental benefits are often attributed to biobased and biodegradable plastic because “bio” is understood to mean “environmentally friendly”. This report assesses and analyses the substitution of conventional plastic with biodegradable or biobased plastic.

Format: PDF

Globally, packaging waste has increasingly become an environmental problem. The problem is the large volume, the high resource intensity in production, the low recycling and recovery rates and the extent of litter caused by packaging. But packaging is, of course, not meant to be a ‘waste’. In the first place, it has important functions and is very useful e.g. for product transport, storage and for consumer information. Primarily, packaging is made up of valuable resources and does not have to reach its end-of life after a single use.
