📋 Tender Overview
• The Regulation aims to establish the necessary guidelines and requirements for the production, marketing and use of tableware and tableware made with biodegradable plastics.
In response to the growing concern for the environment and the need to reduce the impact of non-biodegradable plastics, the Ministry of Production (PRODUCE), through Ministerial Resolution No. 215-2024-PRODUCE, ordered the publication of the draft Technical Regulation on Biodegradable Plastic Tableware and/or Tableware.
With the implementation of this regulation, the aim is to promote the adoption of more sustainable and environmentally friendly materials in the disposable products industry.
Main aspects of the draft regulations
Manufacturers and importers of these products must adhere to strict standards that guarantee that manufacturing processes are sustainable and do not harm the environment, meeting the parameters that materials must have to be considered biodegradable, including their ability to decompose under specific environmental conditions.
Likewise, products must be correctly labeled and certified, assuring consumers that they are purchasing products that meet biodegradability standards.
Through PRODUCE, control mechanisms will be implemented to ensure that products on the market meet the technical requirements of the regulation, including periodic inspections and sanctions for non-compliance.
This project not only represents a significant step towards reducing plastic pollution, but also positions PRODUCE as a leader in promoting sustainable practices. The implementation of this technical regulation will be essential to achieve national and international objectives of sustainability and environmental protection.
All interested parties are invited to participate in the process by sending their comments and suggestions about the regulatory project, through the Produce digital headquarters (www.gob.pe/produce) or to the email: dn@produce.gob. pe.
