ASEAN is accelerating 🔰 EPR policies, with the Philippines leading regional action on plastic packaging regulation. At the ASEAN-EU Sustainability Summit in Cebu:
♻️ Panelists stressed that EPR must go beyond waste collection by boosting demand for recycled materials through stronger policies and eco-design requirements.
🔄 Circular economy goes beyond recycling by prioritising rethink, reduce, reuse, repair, refurbishment, and remanufacturing.
+90 ASEAN circular economy business cases already show how circularity can drive innovation, cost savings, and environmental benefits.
🌏 Climate disasters across Southeast Asia highlight the urgent need to move beyond “business as usual” with circular and resource-efficient solutions.
