Malaysia’s EPR rollout must move beyond voluntary action to create a level playing field, says expert
As Malaysia prepares to move from voluntary to mandatory extended producer responsibility (EPR), Annupa Mattu Ahi of Tomra said the success of the country’s recycling transformation will depend on whether policymakers can establish a framework that holds producers accountable while giving businesses the certainty to invest.
