Chile's Ministry of Environment Advances National Solid Waste Program

Published /Chile

Overview

The Ministry of Environment of Chile continues working towards implementing the National Solid Waste Program by regulating each of the Priority Products under the scope of Recycling Law 20920.

Purpose

The purpose of this law is to reduce the generation of waste and promote its reuse, recycling, and other types of recovery. This is achieved through the establishment of extended producer responsibility and other waste management instruments, aiming to protect the health of people and the environment.

Current Developments

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the calendar for batteries and e-waste is being revised. The Supreme Decrees for these two categories are expected to be finalized during 2021 and 2022. Currently, the Ministry of Environment is completing its benchmarking initial study for batteries, both primary and secondary, to assess the situation regarding waste classification and treatment technology in comparison with other countries that have mandatory stewardship program requirements.
