WEBCAST: Rethinking Plastic Waste Solutions: Extended Producer Responsibility and Corporate Innovation in the U.S. and Southeast Asia — February 24, 2021

Cities around the world have long been struggling with the costs and logistics of managing their plastic waste. To address this issue, policymakers are adopting extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws that require producers and brand owners to take responsibility for the end-of-life management of their packaging. Globally, corporations are also taking voluntary action to close the loop on plastic packaging through investments in waste management and eco-design. The speakers at this panel will discuss growing trends in EPR policy and corporate action in the United States, Malaysia, and Indonesia.
To rethink and reboot waste infrastructure and financing to decrease and better manage single-use plastics, policymakers are adopting extended producer responsibility (EPR) laws.
