The Extended Producer Responsibility Act (EPRA) of 2022 is an Act institutionalizing the extended producer responsibility on plastic packaging waste, amending Republic Act No. 9003, otherwise known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000.
The EPRA lapsed into law on 23 July 2022. It requires large companies to adopt and implement policies for the proper management of plastic packaging wastes.
The Act was crafted in response to the clamor to regulate single-use plastics and their production, importation and disposal by industries.
