Up- to- date law Ministry of the Environment – Law No. 20.920 REP Law – Management Systems

15 Sep 2022

Introduction

On September 13, 2022, the Honorable Tribunal for the Defense of Free Competition issued Report No. 27/2022 regarding the rules and procedures for the incorporation of new associates and for the operation of a Packaging Management System (ProREP – RIGK Chile SpA).

This corresponds to a crucial step for the presentation of the respective Management Plans by the Management Systems and thus obtain the respective authorization by the Ministry of the Environment, due to expire on September 16, 2022.

ProREP joins ReSIMPLE (Asociación de Alimentos y Bebidas de Chile A.G. “AB Chile”), a Management System that already has this report.

Keep in mind that Producers must comply with the obligations of the REP Law as of September 16, 2023, and must therefore adhere to an authorized Management System.
