The plastic industry has risen to the discussion, in the debate tables of the future federal plastics law, the issue of social inclusion and labor benefits of all the actors involved in the recycling and collection sector of this product, especially the scavengers. .
Miguel Delgado, president of the Commission of the Plastic Industry, Responsibility and Sustainable Development (CIPRES), declared that together with the National Association of the Chemical Industry (ANIQ) they anticipate that the redesign of products based on single-use plastic and of PET require reaching new control and collection goals when they are discarded, because 87% of the ecological impact of these elements occurs at that moment.
The circular economy must help confront plastic pollution and ensure that its components maintain their value without becoming useless waste, he said.
When interviewed by ExpookNews, he assured that "there will Chile Mobile Number List always be a need to have scavengers in recycling and the circular economy does not seek to disappear these people, but rather to reincorporate them efficiently into formality and for the law to recognize their value and work."
He explained that ANIQ has set various objectives among its plans for 2020, such as identifying areas of opportunity to transform plastic, while by 2030 it will seek to reuse all plastics in packaging and packaging in its distribution. Even further, by 2040, packaging and packaging throughout their entire life cycle are intended to be recycled or recovered.
He indicated that ANIQ works in five sectors: strengthening actions to eliminate waste generation, increasing efforts to include aspects of ecodesign that facilitate reuse and recycling, establishing quality standards for recycled resins, collaborating in the adoption of waste management plans. plastics and participate or carry out education programs to minimize waste generation.

“For this reason, Unilever slowed down its progress in plastic recycling percentages and in packaging changes, etc., as it estimates that the circular economy would not be fulfilled, since the social factor and population well-being would be affected,” he stated.
As part of Unilever's Sustainable Living Plan, the company committed to increasing the use of recycled plastic content in its packaging by at least 25% by 2025 compared to 2015.
“The plastic collection system is in the recycling value chain and we seek to collaborate with other member companies of the Ecology and Business Commitment organization (ECOCE) to formalize the work of the scavenger and have adult collectors who are within work schemes. formal,” he concluded.
