These are (i) Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR), including incentives on waste segregation at source; (ii) bans or limitations on single use plastics / plastic bags, including incentive-based measures; (iii) limitations on international imports of plastic scraps, including taxes; and (iv) coordination and sharing of information.
