On September 20, 2023, in partnership with the LCF Environment Committee, LCF organized an online Kapihan sa LCF session entitled “From Waste to Responsibility: Understanding the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Law”.
The Kapihan session was graced by its keynote speaker, Atty. Jonas R. Leones, Undersecretary for Policy, Planning, and International Affairs of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Attendees represented various LCF member organizations including those with representation in the Environment Committee as well as the DENR itself.
Atty. Leones spoke at length about the EPR with the aim of helping Kapihan attendees achieve a better understanding of the law as well as its implementation. His comprehensive discussion focused on three points. Firstly, he zeroed in on the disparate roles undertaken by stakeholders in the EPR ecosystem. He then proceeded to discuss different facets of the law’s implementation, including EPR programs, compliance measures, monitoring procedures, reporting practices, and audit protocols. Atty. Leones then rounded out his discussion by identifying strategic partnerships and collaborative initiatives that promote sustainability.
