- Strong regulation of recycling and recovery: Importers, manufacturers and retailers with outlets with a surface area of more than 500 sq m are all responsible for the recovery and recycling of packaging waste in relation to the products that they introduce into the country.
- Companies must register waste: According to an ordinance enacted in 2016, companies are required to log waste, including packaging waste, in a national database.
- Recycling as a cost-savings measure: The reduced cost of using recycled raw materials conveys important benefits for manufacturers. In times of continuous cost cutting due to the increasingly competitive environment, the lower cost manufacturing products is highly desirable. This, combined with the ecological trend, motivates producers to use ecological packaging materials for their products more frequently.
