The Philippines is one of the world's top sources of ocean plastic.
Last year , its " Extended Producer Responsibility " statute came into force.
It is the first in Southeast Asia to impose penalties on companies over plastic waste.
The EPR law is intended to achieve "plastic neutrality" by forcing businesses to reduce plastic pollution through product design and removing waste from the environment.
The law covers a broad range of plastics, including flexible types that are commercially unviable for recycling.
