Peru Requires Municipalities to Set Up Recycling Programs, Separate Landfill Waste

摘要

Peru's government Oct. 7 published a new law aimed at improving environmental and labor conditions for the country's estimated 100,000 people who make a living sorting through solid waste to extract recyclable materials.rnLaw 29419, which includes 11 articles, provides a legal framework for the creation of solid waste service companies, which can provide services from sweeping streets to collecting recyclables, and solid waste commercialization companies that can store and sell recyclables for reuse.
