In mid-January, the Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Korea released a draft Law Concerning the Promotion of Resource Conservation and Recycling. The draft regulation includes a number of measures designed to reduce waste generation and promote reuse and recycling, but within the regulations are restrictions on the types of packaging that may be used across consumer industries.
Specifically, the draft regulation proposes that all consumer product packaging be labeled “easy to recycle” or “difficult to recycle” according to this standard. ReMA is concerned that the criteria for recyclability may be based solely on the availability of recycling technology within Korea and not on any international standard or specification for recyclability. Furthermore, ReMA is concerned that the label itself – if not properly considered – could render all packaging non-recyclable.
