Ministry of the Environment regulates qualification criteria for entities managing packaging reverse logistics

On 15 July 2024, Ordinance GM/MMA No. 1,102/2024, from the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change, was published, which establishes, within the scope of reverse logistics systems for packaging in general, the criteria for enabling managing entities, and the parameters to be observed by them in carrying out their duties. The packaging covered includes paper, plastic, aluminum, steel, glass and long-life cartons.

 

The MMA standard regulates provisions of Federal Decree No. 11,413/2023, which establishes the Credit Certificates for Reverse Logistics Recycling, Structuring and Recycling of Packaging in General and Future Mass Credit. The objective of the measure is to assist in the coordination of the national reverse packaging logistics policy and provide legal certainty to the operators of these systems.
