approach that makes producers responsible
for the entire lifecycle of their products,
Its mainespecially

• Reducemanagement.
the amount of
waste produced.
• Encourage recycling and
reuse.
• Promote sustainable
product design.
Overview of Sanitary Landfills
Sanitary landfills are engineered
facilities designed to safely contain waste
and minimize environmental harm. They
consist of several key components:
• Liners
• Leachate collection systems
• Gas extraction systems

How EPR Relates to Sanitary
Landfills
EPR plays a significant role in reducing the
amount of waste that ends up in sanitary landfills:
• Waste Reduction
• Cost-Sharing
• Innovation

Case Studies and Global
Practices
Let’s look at how EPR has been implemented
successfully in other countries:
• Germany’s Packaging Act
(VerpackG):
• Japan’s Home Appliance
Recycling Law:
• Philippines’ EPR Act of 2022
(RA 11898):
Case Studies and Global
Practices
• EcoLoop is an EPR-driven initiative by SM
Malls that focuses on plastic waste
management by encouraging consumers to
drop off plastic waste at designated
collection points in malls.
• Coca-Cola’s World Without
Waste initiative aims to collect and
recycle the equivalent of every bottle and
can they sell by 2030. The program aligns
with EPR principles and is actively
implemented in the country.

Challenges and
Opportunities
While EPR offers many benefits, it also presents challenges
and opportunities:
Challenges:
• High implementation costs for producers.
• Monitoring compliance is difficult without strong regulatory
enforcement.
• Consumer awareness and participation are often low.
Opportunities:
• Creation of new jobs in recycling and waste management
industries.
• Increased collaboration between producers, governments,
and consumers.

Conclusion
Extended Producer Responsibility is
essential for reducing landfill dependence and achieving
sustainability. However, successful implementation
requires collaboration among producers, consumers, and
regulators.
