Implementation of the REP Law in Chile

Implementation of the REP Law for containers and packaging began: 10 answers to understand what it consists of and what the role of citizens is

Came the day. 30 months have passed since the publication of the decree that established the goals for the collection and recovery of containers and packaging that the country must gradually meet in the next 12 years and, as established in that legal document, once that period has concluded, the application begins with all of the regulations for the most massive priority product of the law. Thus, since last Saturday, September 16, it has been an obligation for producers to take charge of the paper and cardboard, glass, plastic, metal and cardboard for liquids that are introduced to the market as containers and packaging and that reach homes. "This is probably the most citizen category in the REP," said the Minister of the Environment, Maisa Rojas.
