Ministry of Environment starts process for the creation of ordinances for PP tires, containers and packages

We heard great news during the last week of January: the Ministry of Environment of Chile through Resoluciones Exentas Nº 1.491 y Nº1.492 has initiated the process to prepare the ordinances for the collection of priority products such as tires, containers and packages, in addition, to regulate a deposit and refund system for returnable drink bottles.

This process gives every natural or legal person 30 business days to provide important and well-founded technical, economic and social background information. To send this information and facilitate the citizen’s consultation, the ministry of environment has provided an online form in their webpage, however, it is also possible to submit written information at the Oficina de Partes of the Ministry in any of the Secretarías Regionales Ministeriales.

For this first phase, the deadline to submit the information is next February 16^th, 2018.

For more information and to read the Resoluciones Exentas access the following links:
