POST-CONSUMER PRODUCT WASTE MANAGEMENT PLAN
By: Ilse Reséndiz Santiago
_
A Management Plan is an instrument designed to minimize the generation and maximize the valorization of waste. This instrument is governed by the principle of shared responsibility, which implies the participation of manufacturers, importers, distributors, marketers and end consumers. That is, it involves all the people and entities that intervene from the moment a product is considered until the end of its useful life, when it becomes waste. Likewise, the plan describes the comprehensive management that will be given to the waste or waste, covering everything from collection, transportation to final use.
In Mexico City, it is mandatory to generate a Post-Consumer Product Waste Management Plan for reusable plastics, compostable plastics, and electrical and electronic equipment. These plans must be developed by the producers, marketers, and distributors of these products. The obligation to submit these plans is established in article 28 of the Regulations of the Law on Solid Waste of the Federal District. Furthermore, they are specifically regulated by:
Environmental Standard NADF-019-AMBT-2019 – Electrical and Electronic Waste – Requirements and specifications for its management, published on October 19, 2020 and in force since December 18, 2020, which establishes the requirements for the management of electrical and electronic waste.
Environmental Standard NACDMX-010-AMBT-2019 – Technical specifications that single-use plastic bags and products must meet, published on February 25, 2022 and in force since August 24, 2022, which establishes the criteria for the management of waste generated by reusable and compostable plastic products.
