EPR, a good start - Villar: The Extended Producer’s Responsibility Act of 2022 or RA No. 11898 lapsed into law on 22 July 2022.

Senator Cynthia Villar is calling on all sectors to assist in its implementation through strict implementation, monitoring and innovation. Sen. Villar is the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Environment, who shepherded the passage of this legislation along with her counterpart in the House of Representatives, Rep. Glona Labadlabad. EPR is an approach at waste reduction that seeks to lodge environmental responsibility to the producer throughout the lifecycle of a product.

She urges the public and especially the organizations fighting for better solid waste management, to see it as an opportunity.
