This paper investigates the effects of local socio-economic factors on the adoption
of various waste management technologies in the Philippines and Vietnam. Three sets of factors
have been selected. The first set of factors includes the economic situation of the community:
income, unemployment, and the housing density. The second set of factors includes the
availability of fees for waste management services, the nature of leadership, and the application
of the technology in other Asian countries. The third set of factors includes several perceptions
on the waste technology such as its appropriateness to the community, its usefulness in
improving waste management, potential dangers of the technology, and trust in the technology.
Respondents from the Philippines come from the local government units, government agencies,
corporate sector and the academe. The Vietnamese respondents are students and lecturers who
are involved in activities related to solid waste management.
While perceptions of respondents from both countries on income, unemployment, and
dwelling situation vary, there appear similarities in the preferences in the kind of waste
management technologies in the two countries. Generally in both countries, community members
pay for waste services and are willing to pay some contribution for a better waste management.
There is a general perception that leadership is essential in the adoption of advanced solid waste
management technologies and a strong trust on advanced technologies such as used in European
countries to improve solid waste management in the two countries. Adoption of these
technologies would be facilitated by examples of applications of such technologies in other
Asian countries. In both countries there seems to be optimism that segregation of wastes at
source into very specific fractions is a feasible option in their community.

California SB 54 Is Here: What Companies Using Plastic Packaging Need To Do Now | JD Supra
SB 54, the Plastic Pollution Prevention and Packaging Producer Responsibility Act, was signed into law on June 30, 2022. Its goal is to create a framework that shifts waste management costs from the local government onto producers. To that end, SB 54 requires producers to (1) reduce the use of Covered Materials; and (2) ensure that all Covered Materials are recyclable or compostable by 2032. The definition of a producer is not 100% straightforward. You are considered a producer if you are the person who manufactures a product that uses covered material and who owns or is the licensee of the brand or trademark under which the product is used in a commercial enterprise, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state. [1] However, if no such person is located in California, the producer of the covered material is the owner or, if the owner is not in the state, the exclusive licensee of a brand or trademark under which the product using the covered material is used in a commercial enterprise, sold, offered for sale, or distributed in the state. [2] But if there is no such person in California either, the producer is the person who sells, offers for sale, or distributes the product that uses the covered material in or into the state. [3] To the extent you are a producer, the final regulations implementing SB 54 which went into effect May 1, 2026 have set near-term milestones with which you must comply. First, by June 1, 2026, all producers (subject to very limited exceptions) must either (1) participate in an approved Producer Responsibility Organization ( PRO ), or (2) decide to comply individually and register with CalRecycle. Depending on which path a producer decides to follow, it will also be subject to subsequent deadlines. Producers who plan to participate in an approved PRO must have a producer responsibility plan in place by June 15, 2026. If you choose to comply individually and register with CalRecycle, they must approve you, and once...
