The race towards a circular plastics economy has never been more critical; as governments across Asia accelerate Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) policies.

Indonesia is  developing a regulatory framework to enforce EPR for packaging as it aims to for improve national waste management and expansion of the circular economy.

What are the challenges for waste actors in supporting this implementation? What kind of mutual framework is needed to align and execute EPR packaging in Indonesia ?

Coca-Cola Europacific Aboitiz Philippines will share valuable lessons learned from three years of EPR implementation that can help shape future policy development across ASEAN.

Vietnam's progress will be examined through Duytan Recycling's experience in implementing EPR while addressing the technical and economic challenges of polyolefin recycling.

And Malaysia prepares to move from voluntary to mandatory extended producer responsibility, significant challenges remains.

Meanwhile the EU PPWR designed to strengthen Europe's circular economy and protect its market presents challenges for Asian suppliers seeking to maintain access to the EU. Clarify with Recyclass on how Asian recyclers and packaging producers can continue supplying EU customers, and what compliance, recyclability requirements is needed.

Recyclers supplying to EU will need to provide robust evidence and detailed documentation.

CMT's Circular Plastics Packaging as an extension of its 15th Asia PET Series brings together leading industry experts, brand owners, certification bodies and technology providers to explore the latest developments in EPR implementation across Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, alongside the growing regulatory requirements for food-contact recycled plastics in Europe and Japan.

Delegates will gain practical insights into RecyClass recyclability assessment, traceability and certification, as well as strategies for meeting recycled content and packaging recyclability requirements under the PPWR.

The programme also examines market trends affecting recycled plastics, including rPET pricing, PET market outlook and feedstock economics, while showcasing innovations in food-grade PET, PP and PE recycling, advanced and dissolution recycling technologies, and solutions for recycling flexible plastic films into high-value recycled resins.
