EPR regulations: Recycling responsibilities applicable from 2024

19 January, 2024

The 2020 Environmental Protection Law and its implementing Decree 08 introduced the concept of Extended Producer Responsibility, which specifies the responsibilities of manufacturers and importers with regard to the (i) treatment and (ii) recycling of waste and packages (please refer to our previous NewsBriefs for further details in this regard). 

Although waste treatment responsibilities have been applicable from the effectiveness of Decree 08 in 2022, recycling responsibilities will now also apply according to a roadmap starting from 2024. 

This NewsBrief is to remind readers about recycling responsibilities only.
