The project has reviewed the implementation of the existing economic and financial instruments applied to SWM and identified a financial gap. Based on the identified weaknesses and best practices in the relevant field, the project has proposed economic and financial instruments suitable for the local context. Among the recommended instruments are the implementation of Pay-As-You-Throw (PAYT) fees, the implementation of the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) scheme, the imposition of taxes on products from various sectors, the revision of existing storage fees, the introduction of differentiated fees, and the implementation of an information system for material flow, among others. The findings were presented to the Ministry of Environment, the Ministry of Finance, and other stakeholders.
