Proponents of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for Paper, Products, and Packaging (PPP) are jumping on the \u201cChina Crisis\u201d bandwagon by attempting to revive efforts to shift control over recycling from local government and existing recycling companies to statewide non-profit agencies under the control of Big Soda companies and their allies.… Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","authors_tax":[605]},"sidebar":{"title":"\u00cdndice"},"page_layout":[{"acf_fc_layout":"layout_wysiwyg","_acfe_flexible_toggle":null,"component_wysiwyg":{"content":"

Los defensores de la Responsabilidad Extendida del Productor (REP) para Papel, Productos y Empaques (PPE) se est\u00e1n subiendo al carro de la \u201cCrisis China\u201d intentando reavivar los esfuerzos para transferir el control del reciclaje de los gobiernos locales y las empresas de reciclaje existentes a agencias sin fines de lucro a nivel estatal, bajo el control de las grandes empresas de refrescos y sus aliados.<\/p>\n

Dado que los mercados de papel mixto han disminuido y China ha a\u00f1adido l\u00edmites estrictos a la importaci\u00f3n de lotes de reciclables contaminados, los defensores de la RSE para PRF afirman que estos son ahora \u201cmateriales dif\u00edciles de manejar\u201d y requieren la hegemon\u00eda de las marcas. Adem\u00e1s, piden la renovaci\u00f3n de los esfuerzos para construir m\u00e1s incineradoras de basura.<\/p>\n

Est\u00e1n llorando lobo. El reciclaje en EE. UU. ha sobrevivido a ca\u00eddas del mercado m\u00e1s severas que la causada por las pol\u00edticas de importaci\u00f3n de China y ha seguido prosperando. Los esquemas de Responsabilidad Extendida del Productor (REP) para Pl\u00e1sticos de Un Solo Uso (PSU) se han desvanecido en California, Minnesota, Rhode Island y Connecticut. Para detener las mejoras en el programa de botellas de California y evitar que los gobiernos locales impongan restricciones adicionales, Big Soda ha\u00a0coaccion\u00f3 al estado para que aprobara una ley<\/a> prohibir estas acciones.<\/p>\n

De hecho, los mercados pronto ser\u00e1n m\u00e1s fuertes ya que empresas estadounidenses, chinas y extranjeras est\u00e1n invirtiendo en la recuperaci\u00f3n de fibra y pl\u00e1stico del rico flujo de residuos de EE. UU. Se est\u00e1n construyendo nuevas instalaciones de procesamiento y f\u00e1bricas de papel que proporcionar\u00e1n fibra \u201clista para horno\u201d a los mercados nacionales y extranjeros. De manera similar, el pl\u00e1stico reciclado de EE. UU. ser\u00e1n procesados en \u201cpellets listos para horno\u201d<\/a>. No existe una crisis de mercado para el papel mixto. \u201cSi tienes papel mixto que vale entre$5 y $10 d\u00f3lares por tonelada, \u00bfpor qu\u00e9 no clasificar los materiales de alta calidad en grados que tengan un valor de mercado de cientos de d\u00f3lares?\u201d, afirma Richard Anthony, ex director de Waste Management del condado de San Diego, California, y actual presidente de la Zero Waste International Alliance.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, la industria del empaque est\u00e1 cambiando por s\u00ed sola sin necesidad de RSE para envases de pl\u00e1stico para un solo uso. Kraft Foods acaba de anunciar que para 2025 tendr\u00e1 empaques de cero residuos que sean reutilizables, reciclables o compostables. Brands with a Plan cubre el desarrollo de empaques sostenibles entre los productores de bienes de consumo. Las prohibiciones de envases de un solo uso y vajillas para servicios de alimentos se est\u00e1n replicando en todo Estados Unidos. El concepto y la pr\u00e1ctica de Cero Residuos est\u00e1 energizando campa\u00f1as locales, regionales y nacionales, a medida que los activistas estadounidenses y los grupos mundiales de Cero Residuos coordinan actividades. No se necesitan leyes de RSE para envases de pl\u00e1stico para un solo uso para este impulso.<\/p>\n

El llamado a favor de m\u00e1s plantas incineradoras de basura resulta c\u00f3mico. Solo se ha construido una nueva instalaci\u00f3n en 25 a\u00f1os, aunque algunas plantas se han ampliado. La resistencia de los ciudadanos organizados a las nuevas incineradoras propuestas es de \u00faltima generaci\u00f3n. Organizaciones como Energy Justice Network, Global Anti Incineration Alliance e ILSR ahora est\u00e1n apuntando a plantas operativas m\u00e1s antiguas en Baltimore y el Condado de Montgomery, Maryland; Long Beach, California; Detroit, Michigan, y otras ciudades. Las incineradoras de basura siguen siendo el principal contaminante en las ciudades donde operan, y siguen siendo la forma m\u00e1s cara de deshacerse de la basura y generar electricidad. Ellas son m\u00e1s contaminante que los vertederos<\/a>.<\/p>\n

No es necesaria la RSE para el APP, ya que las pol\u00edticas de China y el aumento de los oc\u00e9anos de pl\u00e1stico han impulsado a los recicladores de EE. UU. y al p\u00fablico en general a exigir m\u00e1s opciones de reciclaje.<\/p>\n
