In Brunei Darussalam, key legislation governing waste management is outlined in the Environmental Protection and Management Order 2016, empowering the Minister responsible for environmental protection and management matters to impose requirements aimed at controlling land pollution, including industrial waste, domestic waste, and littering. In conjunction with this, the Hazardous Waste (Control of Export, Import, and Transit) Order 2013 establishes rules regarding the environmentally safe management of transboundary hazardous waste, including plastics waste.

This initiative delineates 12 national outcomes, one of which focuses on achieving a sustainable environment. Within this sector, the government encourages individuals to prevent waste littering and open burning, as well as promote active participation in “cleaning campaign” activities.
