Ringkasan
Survei terbaru menunjukkan bahwa hampir separuh perusahaan melaporkan peningkatan limbah kemasan sejak implementasi Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) untuk kemasan. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa mekanisme EPR yang dirancang untuk mengurangi limbah kemasan justru belum mencapai efektivitas optimal di lapangan. Perusahaan menghadapi tantangan dalam menyesuaikan operasional mereka dengan regulasi EPR yang kompleks. Diperlukan evaluasi mendalam dan penyesuaian kebijakan untuk memastikan EPR kemasan dapat benar-benar mengurangi beban limbah di industri.
Summary
A recent survey reveals that nearly half of businesses report increased packaging waste following the implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging. This finding suggests that the EPR mechanism, intended to reduce packaging waste, has not yet achieved optimal effectiveness in practice. Companies face significant challenges in adapting their operations to comply with complex EPR regulations. A comprehensive policy review and adjustment are necessary to ensure that packaging EPR delivers its intended outcome of reducing waste burden across industries.
