Earlier this year, a regional study found that, while several countries in Latin America have introduced plastic circular economy frameworks, plastic production, consumption, and waste are increasing in the region, while waste management and sustainable trade remain “insufficient.”

Previously, Packaging Insights spoke to Amcor Latin America, AJE Group Colombia, and Greenback Recycling Technologies about the packaging supply chain in Latin America. Brazil stood out in the region and showed regional advancements in some states, where local policies restrict single-use plastics and encourage circular economy practices.
