Law 20.920 — Framework for Waste Management, EPR and Recycling (Ley REP)

Law 20.920 is Chile's foundational EPR framework establishing producer responsibility for waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and valorization across multiple product categories; it institutionalizes the polluter-pays principle, mandates gradual compliance, and includes formal integration of waste-pickers—a landmark circular-economy statute enacted in 2016.
