1. What is the general legislative framework regulating packaging and plastic waste in your jurisdiction?
The Hazardous Waste (Control of Export, Import and Transit) Act (Chapter 122A) (“HWA”) incorporates the principles and text of the Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal (“Basel Convention”), regulating the export, import and transit of hazardous and other waste, including plastic waste. Import, export, and bringing waste into Singapore in the course of carrying out a transit proposal are generally prohibited under the HWA, unless a Basel permit or special permit is obtained under the HWA and the Hazardous Waste (Control of Export, Import and Transit) Regulations.
