The planning, development and administration of Singapore’s waste management system comes under the purview of the Singapore National Environment Agency. As part of Singapore’s strategy to build a sustainable nation, focused on resource efficiency and climate resilience, the Resource Sustainability Act (“RSA“) was enacted. This lends legal force to regulatory measures to reducing waste and targets three priority waste streams – e-waste, food waste and packaging waste.
In this Update, we highlight the mandatory reporting requirements relating to packaging waste under the RSA. Affected companies are required to submit the first round of packaging data report and 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) plans for 2022 by 31 March 2022, through the Waste and Resource Management System.
