Search for “Global Solutions” is on
Waste management has become a global problem
 Six “big ideas” for accelerating reduction, reuse & recycling
1. Promote “best practices”
2. Green taxes
3. Tradable credits
4. Collaborative consumption
5. Circular economy
6. Extended Producer Responsibility
Common objective to scale up perceived 3Rs best practices
10
Collaborative Consumption
Access to goods and skills without ownership
 Product-service systems for sharing or renting of a product
 Redistribution markets, which enable the sale and reuse of a product
 Collaborative lifestyles in which assets and skills can be shared
Lower costs, less waste, and community building

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR)
Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is,
according to OECD (2001), an environmental
policy approach in which a producer's
responsibility, physical and/or financial, for a
product is extended to the post-consumer stage
of a product's life cycle. A wide range of EPR
models have been implemented globally.

Case Study Ontario
 900,000 square kms.
 12.7M population
 4.4M households
 500 municipalities
• Organized into 120 regional
recycling programs
 95% of single family homes with recycling services
 ~25% of multi-family units served
26
Ontario’s Blue Box Program Plan (BBPP)
 Brand Owners & first importers are “producers”
 Producers fund 50% approved net cost of municipal residential Blue Box
programs
• Shared responsibility approach
 Blue Box Waste defined as:
• Glass, metal, paper, plastic & textiles or
any combination of above
 Producers report on and pay for amount & type of printed paper &
packaging they supply into the market

The Essence of “EPR”
30
What are the Key Drivers of EPR?
 EPR a reflection of broader transition underway
 Quantifying environmental impacts
 Internalizing these costs to producers & users
 Driven by converging forces
 Government systemic financial stress
 Commercial pressures for greater transparency along the supply
chain
 Securing supplies of key strategic materials
 Policy innovation & adoption across the OECD
 Recognition that cradle-to-cradle management essential to
sustainability
 Social license to grow
31
La Importancia de los Recolectores de Base
 A nivel mundial millones de recolectores de base retiran manualmente
material reciclable destinado a rellenos:





India: 1.5 millones (2010), en su mayoría mujeres y grupos marginados
Colombia: 18,000 (?) “recicladores”
Uruguay: 15,000 “clasificadores”
Argentina: 42,000 “cartoneros”
Brasil: 229,000 “catadores”
 Realizan la separación del material reciclado que es vendido en los mercados
globales
 Con frecuencia trabajan en condiciones de riesgo
32
“¿Puede sentirse orgulloso de esta
cadena de valor?”

de Base a la Economía Formal

34
Will the Chile EPR law meet its objectives?
 Should EPR be integrated into comprehensive general waste law?
 Are legislators also prepared to:
 Require households to pay for waste management services?
 Make recycling mandatory?
 Ban priority materials from final disposal?
35
Can Chile “de-link” economic growth & waste?
