The Philippines, one of the world's top sources of ocean plastic, has introduced new legislation aimed at reducing plastic waste. The "Extended Producer Responsibility" (EPR) law, which came into effect last year, is the first in Southeast Asia to penalize companies for plastic waste. Half of the eligible companies have implemented EPR programs, and over 1,000 more must comply by December 2024 or face significant fines.
