The Philippines will lead ASEAN efforts for stronger regional cooperation on circular economy practices, focusing on waste reduction, resource recovery, and inclusive involvement of MSMEs and informal waste workers. The initiative aims to move away from the traditional waste system by promoting reuse, recycling, and resource efficiency under ASEAN policy frameworks.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Circular Economy.

◆ The Wire takeaway

You need to engage ASEAN markets now as they move to regional circular economy policies that open funding and market opportunities, especially for waste and recycling innovators. The inclusion of small businesses and informal workers signals potential new partnerships beyond government contracts.
