Its goal is to move toward more responsible waste management by promoting the collection, recycling, and recovery of materials once products reach the end of their useful life.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Does the EPR Law Establish?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The EPR Law requires producers and importers to organize and finance the management of waste associated with certain products classified as priority products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">These include: packaging, electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, lubricating oils, tires, and portable batteries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">For food and beverage companies, packaging is particularly relevant, as it is an integral part of the products that reach consumers every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Is It Important for Companies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The regulation sets collection and recovery targets aimed at progressively increasing material recovery and reducing the amount of waste that ends up being disposed of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This means companies must pay increasing attention to the waste generated by their products and work toward meeting the established targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meeting these targets remains a challenge, making it increasingly important to encourage recycling, improve material recovery, and provide consumers with clear information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Role of Environmental Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to managing waste, companies can move toward greater transparency regarding the environmental impact of their packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Measuring these impacts provides information that can help to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Promote more responsible consumption and end-of-life disposal decisions.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Better understand the environmental performance of packaging.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Turn environmental data into clear information for consumers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Communicate the importance of recycling and material recovery.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How Can ClearPrint Help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">At ClearPrint, we help companies work toward meeting their material recovery targets by measuring the environmental impact of packaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">In addition, we develop eco-labels that communicate this information clearly to consumers, fostering greater understanding of recycling, material recovery, and the environmental impact of products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This way, companies can move forward not only in meeting new requirements, but also toward more transparent and responsible environmental communication.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Discover our news story:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearprint.cl\/en\/porque-chile-necesita-alimentos-con-eco-etiquetado\/\">The Value of Eco-Labeling for the Environment<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Follow us on our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/clearprint.cl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Instagram<\/a>&nbsp;so you don't miss any updates.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Ley N\u00b020.920, conocida como Ley REP, establece nuevas responsabilidades para productores e importadores respecto de los residuos generados por los productos que ponen en el mercado.
