\n<\/em>The Law seeks to reduce the generation of waste and encourage its reuse, recycling and other types of recovery. With this end, it establishes the Extended Liability of the Producer (“REP” on account of its Spanish acronym),\u00a0making the producer liable for the waste generated by its products, from its inception to its final recovery or elimination.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>The Law establishes various priority products, to which the REP system shall apply. These are:<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>For purposes of the Law, a producer is defined a person that (i) sells a priority product for the first time in the national market; (ii) sells under his\/her\/its own brand a priority product acquired from a third party that is not the first distributor; or (ii) imports a priority product for its professional use.<\/p>\n
\n<\/em>The following are the main obligations this Law shall impose for producers:<\/p>\n\n
\n<\/strong>As an example, companies that sell products which are packaged and marketed under the company’s own brand shall be considered as producers for purposes of the Law, even if they acquire the packaging from third parties.
\nProducers shall organize and finance the collection, storage, transportation and treatment of their products waste. In order to meet these requirements, a company may choose to comply individually or jointly with other producers, and may enter into agreements with municipalities and waste managers. Regardless of how they choose to fulfill their duties, all companies are required to file a 5-year management plan in order to comply with the obligations set forth by the Law.<\/p>\n
