Law firm Webber Wentzel says more clarity is needed about the impact of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) regulations on plastic bag producers, as plastic bags are already regulated under 2003 legislation, amended in 2021, and a levy was introduced in 2004. The EPR regulations apply only to products and their related waste streams identified by the Forestry, Fisheries and the Environment Minister in the Gazette, and envisage that all producers of identified products and their related waste streams will establish and implement an EPR scheme or join an EPR scheme established by a producer responsibility organisation on behalf of its producers.
