00:00A business group wants to have a strict monitoring

00:04in recycling of car batteries

00:07which is considered hazardous waste.

00:10This can help to stop the illegal melting and recycling here.

00:16This is what Rod Lagusan reported.

00:20A business group is calling on the Department of Environment and Natural Resources

00:24to implement a strict collection and recycling of used lead-acid batteries or car batteries.

00:32The Federation of Philippine Industries or FPI asked the DNR to issue a Department Administrative Order

00:39for the implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility or EPR Scheme

00:44on the so-called hazardous waste batteries under the EPR Act of 2022.

00:50In the group's position paper to DNR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga,

00:56they also stated that EPR is important especially when it comes to recycling of so-called hazardous waste

01:01that requires technical know-how and facilities that only have accredited private recyclers.

01:07According to FPI Chairman Jesus Aranza,

01:09compared to other wastes such as plastic currently included in the EPR implementing rules,

01:14it needs to be implemented immediately because of the dangers it brings to the environment and people.

01:22It should be implemented.

01:25And the law is clear that within three months,

01:31they should come up already with the rules on the solid waste, on the toxic waste.

01:40But not yet.

01:41They can use that already, they can implement.

01:44We don't need to wait for this because there is no objectionable provisions insofar as toxic materials are concerned for hazardous.

01:54The group also pushed for a one-to-one scheme

01:58where if a business entity has collected a certain amount of waste,

02:01it should be the only one that can sell it.

02:05It means that you are the one who sold it, you are the one who got it.

02:11You are the one who processed the waste.

02:13You are the one who threw the waste, you are the one who bought the food, you are the one who got it.

02:19But it should only be in the toxic waste.

02:22It should not be thrown in the garbage because it is very toxic.

02:26According to the group, this will solve the problem of illegal LEDs and recycled batteries.

02:34Meanwhile, in the released data of the DNR last June,

02:37it reached the target of 20% or almost 125,000 tons of plastic to be diverted in the first year of the implementation of the EPR law.

02:47According to Secretary Loizaga, it reached the so-called percentage due to waste collection and diversion,

02:52which includes recovery, transportation, and cleaning up in coastal areas and public places.
