The new Recycling Law will bring with it certain challenges for producers, since according to the demands in the valuation of priority products, they will have to rethink the materials and design used in the generation and commercialization of their goods. Certain disposable items or containers could be modified to achieve a suitable ecological balance, which does not affect production and lowers costs.

Consequently, it is that the Ecodesign has been noted in recent times; It is about limiting waste by analyzing the life cycle of the product, allowing to identify improvements and apply new methodologies, reducing the environmental impact, while lowering production costs. Even the Ministry of the Environment prepared a National Ecodesign Plan, the objective of which is to incorporate it both in the public and private sectors. "This discipline is gaining real importance, since the design for sustainability corresponds to a methodology for the strategic management of innovation", affirmed the Undersecretary of the Environment, Jorge Canals.

Sumado a esto, cabe destacar que el tipo de material utilizado será fundamental para que el MMA proponga las metas de recolección implicadas en la REP Law, ya que de acuerdo a los expertos, categorizar individualmente cada producto para su valorización podría disminuir hasta en un 76% las emisiones de Gases de Efecto Invernadero (GEI).
