Peru highlighted its strategy axes “Perú Limpio” and “Perú Natural” and the priorities of the new government: sustainable use of biological diversity, especially forests; climate change adaptation and mitigation; efficient management of solid waste; integrated coastal zone management; prevention and control of pollution and eco-efficiency.

It contains expanded and improved regulatory authority in numerous areas: research and data collection; the multi-track risk assessment process; pollution prevention; virtual elimination; waste reduction and emergency preparation plans; requirements to report significant new activities; more emphasis on an ecosystem approach; a reverse listing approach for ocean dumping; new provisions for international water, vehicle emissions, and economic instruments; an expanded authority to regulate nutrients; the federal house; emergencies, fuels, and the import and export of waste, ...[+++]including solid wastes.

Of all the problems of the environment, we think water pollution and air pollution and atmospheric pollution rank far ahead of solid waste as serious problems.

There's no air pollution, no water pollution, no solid waste, and no toxic waste.

These pollution prevention measures include reducing water consumption, recycling water within the plant, separating solids and wastes in the processing tables rather than flushing them down the drains, and installing new screens and removal systems for fish wastes.

Recommendations are given concerning cleaning of application tools to limit water pollution and concerning product storage conditions after opening in order to limit solid waste.
