Malaysia introduce EPR
Introduction of extended producer responsibility (EPR) to ensure manufacturers take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products, including disposal.
The Malaysian Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry has announced a Circular Economy Policy Framework, a key element of which is the introduction of extended producer responsibility (EPR) to ensure manufacturers take responsibility for the entire life cycle of their products, including disposal.
The framework is designed to help reduce the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions, which currently account for 20% of the country’s total emissions.
“The aim of EPR is not to penalise producers, but for them to incorporate the costs of environmental management within the production process, incentivising more sustainable practices along the way,” says Tengku Zafrul, the minister responsible.
Zafrul also hopes to see the emergence of new sustainable industries and products, as well as new business opportunities for the country’s industry.
Malaysia is one of the countries covered by Landbell Group’s regulatory information services.
