Overview

Argentina is currently developing three main bills for national laws aimed at regulating Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), hazardous waste, and contaminated sites.

National Law for Enterprise Resource Planning

The National Law for Enterprise Resource Planning - Minimum Standard is set to be introduced to the Lower Chamber in December 2018. It will be considered and voted on during the first semester of 2019.

This ERP Minimum Standard Law will encompass the resource planning of special waste that is universally generated, including batteries, e-waste, used oil, and car tires. Additionally, it facilitates free inter-jurisdictional transportation, storage, and treatment of these resources.

National Law for Hazardous Waste

The National Law for Hazardous Waste will align with the Basel Convention’s waste category structure, which includes:

• Y’s: Categories of waste requiring special consideration and those that must be controlled.
• H’s: Dangerous waste as defined in Annexes I, II, and III of the Basel Convention.

This law is expected to be introduced to the Lower Chamber during the first semester of 2019 and voted on in the second semester of the same year.
