According to the latest survey published by Cadem, entitled "Perceptions and Attitudes of Chilean men and women regarding Recycling", 66% of Chileans acknowledge that they do separate waste such as paper, cardboard, glass, aluminum and plastic cans. However, half of the group that declares that they do not do so recognizes that the reason is because there are not enough spaces or places to recycle, which opens the door to great challenges.

However, the study also shows that 40% of Chileans indicate that the recycling of waste It is a subject in which little progress has been made due to the non-existent information and education. It also highlights that eight out of ten Chileans have not heard of the Extended Producer Responsibility Law (REP Law) o Recycling Law, a situation that becomes worrying considering that in September 2023 it will begin to apply throughout the national territory for priority products in the "Packaging and Packaging" category. 

En materia de avance y en pro de apoyar la masificación de esta información, vale la pena destacar que a comienzo del próximo año también entrará en vigencia la ley para la categoría “Neumáticos”, para que sus fabricantes se hagan cargo de la revalorización de un porcentaje de los productos que venden. Por último, la REP Law también considera otros cuatro productos como prioritarios (pilas, aceites lubricantes, baterías y artículos electrónicos) los cuales siguen sin fecha de aplicación.

En Hidronor seguiremos siendo partícipes del avance de esta normativa y afianzamos nuestro compromiso con ayudar a que las empresas puedan alcanzar las metas que ésta impone en materia de gestión y reciclaje de residuos industriales.
