The proliferation of plastic bans in South America requires urgent action-certified compostable products are sustainable solutions. Chile banned the use of disposable plastics in 2024, and Colombia followed suit in 2025. Enterprises that fail to comply with the regulations will face severe penalties (up to $50,000). Prohibited items include: plastic bags, disposable tableware and non-recyclable packaging.

Consistent with circular economy laws and regulations (such as Ley de Envases in Argentina) to improve the adaptability of policies.
