Delve into "EPR" revolutionize packaging waste into global economic treasure trove🥹💚

📌 from an environmental policy to a huge monetization mechanism, EPR is a modern economic survival that turns the "waste burden" into "value," as Thailand prepares to upgrade it from a voluntary system to a real enforcement law by 2025, hoping to pull co-producers responsible for a 100% product life cycle.

✅ World Waste Management is entering a major turning point when the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) or Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) concept is no longer just a CSR project, but has become the economic infrastructure that over 63 jurisdictions around the world are accelerating the enactment of the law to create a renewable economy that is sustainable and returns profits to the business sector. Thailand is in a critical phase of its full transition to the EPR system. In detail:

💡 1. The draft Sustainable Waste Management Act, the Department of Pollution Control, the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Environment, is accelerating the preparation of the Sustainable Waste Management Bill, whose centerpiece is to require manufacturers to bear the costs of packaging management. It is expected to be presented to Cabinet and Parliament by 2025. This legislation will rebrand waste management from the original unilateral local function to the shared responsibility of producers.

💡 2. The pilot project "PackBack" by TIPMS, the Institute of Environmental Packaging and Recycling Management (TIPMS) under the Industrial Council of Thailand, has implemented the project "PackBack Storage for Sustainable Days" by joining municipalities in Chonburi Province to experiment with five types of waste storage systems (plastic, glass, paper, metal, aluminum). The initial results showed that more waste can be drawn back into the recycling process and significantly reduce the amount of waste that needs to be sent to landfill.

💡 3. Challenging statistics and targets. The amount of plastic waste in Thailand: there are about 2 million tons per year, but only about 25% is recycled.

📍 Roadmap Target: Thailand aims to bring the target plastic waste back to 100% utilization by 2027, which EPR will be the main mechanism to make this goal a reality.

🥇 the arrival of EPR is not just to increase costs, it is to restructure the business to global benchmarks. If a business can adapt quickly by implementing innovative, designing 100% recyclable packaging, or joining an efficient storage system, it will not only reduce legal risks, but will also gain a competitive advantage in a global market that rigorously values ESG. 💯
