,On 3 March 2026, World Trade Organization (WTO) circulates an addendum notification from Chile regarding regulatory developments related to single-use plastics and plastic bottles. The notifying member is Chile, and the agency responsible is the Ministry of the Environment. The notification concerns products covered, including single-use plastic products and plastic beverage bottles, which are regulated under national legislation aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting sustainable consumption practices. The notified document relates to the Preliminary Draft Regulations implementing Law No. 21.368 governing the distribution of single-use plastics and plastic bottles, and amending related legal provisions. The description of content indicates that Law No. 21.794 was officially published on 24 January 2026, introducing amendments to Law No. 21.368, which regulates the distribution and management of single-use plastics and plastic bottles in Chile. The legislative update also postpones the entry into force of MMA Decree No. 30/2024, previously notified to WTO Members. This adjustment modifies the timeline for implementing certain regulatory provisions associated with the control and distribution of single-use plastics. The measure forms part of Chile’s broader environmental policy aimed at strengthening plastic waste management, encouraging responsible product distribution, and aligning national regulations with sustainability and environmental protection objectives.
