Chile Asbestos is a Chile-wide ban on the use of certain types of asbestos and asbestos products that took effect in 2001.

Framework Law for the Management of Waste, Extended Liability of the Producer and Promotion of Recycling No. 20,920 promotes a circular economy by shifting waste responsibility to producers. Key obligations include:

  • Annual Reporting: Submit waste management data to the RETC (Record of Emissions and Transference of Contaminants).
  • End-to-End Logistics: Finance and organize the collection, transport, and treatment of priority products.
  • Compliance Goals: Meet mandatory recovery and recycling targets for each product category.
  • Operational Standards: Implement eco-design, clear labeling, and deposit-refund systems.
