Nearly Half of Businesses Say Packaging EPR Has Increased Packaging Waste
[International] · Policy 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. ───────────── Baca selengkapnya di: Sustainable Packaging News →
Federal EPR could cut waste management costs in half: WWF
[International] · Policy Ringkasan Program Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) di tingkat federal berpotensi mengurangi biaya manajemen sampah hingga 50 persen, menurut analisis WWF. Sistem EPR memindahkan tanggung jawab pengelolaan akhir produk dari pemerintah dan konsumen kepada produsen, mendorong mereka untuk mendesain produk yang lebih berkelanjutan dan mudah didaur ulang. Implementasi kebijakan ini diharapkan dapat meningkatkan efisiensi operasional dan mengurangi beban finansial dalam industri manajemen sampah. Riset WWF menunjukkan bahwa pendekatan berbasis produsen ini merupakan solusi cost-effective untuk mencapai target ekonomi sirkular. Summary According to WWF analysis, a federal Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) program could reduce waste management costs by up to 50 percent. The EPR system shifts the responsibility for end-of-life product management from governments and consumers to producers, incentivizing them to design more sustainable and recyclable products. Implementation of this policy is expected to improve operational efficiency and reduce the financial burden on the waste management industry. WWF’s research demonstrates that this producer-based approach represents a cost-effective solution for achieving circular economy targets. ───────────── Baca selengkapnya di: Waste Dive →
