Decree No. 16.089/2023 updates and establishes new guidelines for the implementation, structuring and operation of the take-back requirements system for packaging in Mato Grosso do Sul.

Compared to the last system, the new decree generally maintains the existing obligations and targets but includes new specific provisions, including more detailed information on the obligations of traders and distributors, as well as procedures for independent verification of invoices issued. The aim is to align state regulation with the National Solid Waste Policy.

While the beverage carton industry says it supports the European Commission’s vision that by 2030 all packaging should be recyclable and/or reusable, it has called for additions to the draft legislation.

It says these proposals are “essential” to meet the goals of the Proposal Packaging and Packaging Waste (PPWR) revision.

Along with the surge in global voicing of concerns regarding sustainability comes “greenwashing” – an attempt made by corporations and brands to exploit such sentiment and mislead consumers into buying and using more expensive products that are no better for the environment.

In the short timeline of the last five years, there has been a 71% rise in online searches for sustainable goods globally, as reported by The Economist Intelligence Unit.

McDonald’s is testing a new strawless lid

“These lids help optimize our packaging and eliminate the use of small plastics, just one example of the many solutions we’re reviewing as part of our ongoing global commitment to reduce waste,” a McDonald’s spokesperson said in a statement.

The plastic lids have a pullback tab to prevent the drink from splashing out. To drink from it, customers have to pull the tab back and slot it into a small opening. It’s similar to the “sippy cup” lid at Starbucks that has been in use for the past three years.
