ASEAN Action Towards Circular Economy: Move Forward with Extended Producer Responsibility

ASEAN Action Towards Circular Economy: Move Forward with Extended Producer Responsibility

On 28th March 2024, at the C asean Auditorium CW Tower, Bangkok, Thailand, over 333 Circular Economy and Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) stakeholders, including policymakers, industry representatives, academia and environmental advocates, participated in the “C asean Forum 2024: ASEAN Action Towards Circular Economy: Move Forward with Extended Producer Responsibility.”

This event is a collaborative effort organised by the ASEAN Centre for Sustainable Development Studies and Dialogue (ACSDSD), the C-asean and Thailand Supply Chain Network. Its primary objective is to foster a collaborative and informed dialogue, inspiring actionable strategies for adopting EPR across the ASEAN region. By bringing diverse perspectives and experiences together, the event seeks to develop a roadmap for incorporating EPR principles into national policies, industry practices, and community initiatives. The ultimate vision is to propel ASEAN towards a Circular Economy that safeguards the environment and catalyses economic growth and social well-being. This forum stands as a testament to ASEAN’s commitment to sustainable development and responsible resource management, setting the stage for a future where circularity is not just an aspiration but a shared reality.
