Proyecto de Reglamento Técnico sobre Bolsas de Plástico Reutilizables (Draft Technical Regulation on Reusable Plastic Bags) (27 pages, in Spanish)

The notified draft Technical Regulation establishes the technical and labelling requirements to be met in the manufacture of reusable plastic bags for domestic consumption, importation, distribution, delivery and marketing under Law No. 30884, which regulates single-use plastic and disposable containers and packaging to ensure that no microplastic pollution or hazardous substances are produced as a result of their degradation. It also mitigates the risks to and adverse impact on the environment and health, as part of a circular economy, in addition to reducing information asymmetry in the consumption chain.
