Acta de Sesión Ordinaria Consejo Consultivo Regional del Medio Ambiente Región de Arica y Parinacota

Summary

Chile's Arica y Parinacota region faces significant waste generation during its annual "Carnaval con la Fuerza del Sol," impacting tourism and the environment, exacerbated by the general challenge of single-use plastic waste. To mitigate this, a comprehensive waste management program is being implemented for the 2025 Carnival, including collection points for plastics and glass, engagement of base recyclers for environmental education, and a public communication campaign. This initiative aligns with broader national efforts to regulate single-use plastics (Ley N° 21.368) and promote extended producer responsibility (Ley REP). The program is currently in progress, with planning and coordination underway for the 2025 event, and national regulations are being phased in.
