On 23 December 2016, the President of Peru signed a new Legislative Decree (Decree 1278) to approve a new solid waste management law. This law establishes a regime of rights, obligations, attributions and responsibilities with the purpose of maximising resource-use efficiency and ensuring an adequate economic, sanitary and environmentally safe management and handling of solid waste.

According to article 2 of the Decree, solid waste management should have as its primary objective the prevention or minimisation of waste generation. Nevertheless, in cases where waste is still generated, the law mandates recovery of energy and material through measures such as recycling, composting, and co-processing.

The Decree further indicates the following as principles governing solid waste management:

Circular Economy : The creation of value is not limited to the final consumption of the resources but should consider the entire life cycle of the goods.

Waste recovery : Recovery should be prioritised through activities such as recycling of inorganic substances and metals, power generation, compost production, fertilizers or other biological transformations, recovery of components, and treatment or recovery of soils, among other options that avoid their final disposal.

Principle of extended producer responsibility : Manufacturers, importers, distributors, and marketers are encouraged to manufacture or use products or packaging with eco-efficiency criteria that minimise the generation of waste and/or facilitate its recovery, taking advantage of resources in a sustainable manner and minimising their impact on the environment. They are also responsible for all stages of the life cycle.

Principle of shared responsibility: Waste management is a social co-responsibility. It requires the joint, coordinated and differentiated participation of generators, waste operators, and municipalities.

Principle of environment and public health protection : Waste management includes measures to protect the people’s health in harmony with the full exercise of the fundamental right to live in a balanced and adequate environment.

Oil Industry Braces for Years-Long Iran War

Oil producers, traders, and refiners are bracing for a prolonged war between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf with little to no hope of a quick resolution. By extension, they are also preparing for higher prices for longer, a theme present at this year’s edition of the Asia Pacific Petroleum Conference. Reuters’ Clyde Russell reported this week that the mood at APPEC was not particularly cheerful as hostilities in the Middle East escalate once again, suggesting achieving peace would be quite a challenge. The Reuters columnist…

Stolen Electricity is Powering Illegal Crypto Farms Across the Globe

Electricity theft is a global problem, and it’s getting more dire all the time. While the problem is most common in developing countries, where grid infrastructure is limited and utilities and state authorities have lower oversight capacities, developed countries are not immune either. This theft can occur in many forms and at many scales, from individuals tapping into power lines to power their individual residences to large-scale and sophisticated theft schemes to power entire cryptocurrency mining farms. Just this week, Mexican authorities…

The Race to Solve Nuclear Energy’s Biggest Problem

Iran’s Security Crackdown Runs Into Resistance From Within

Iran's parliament is trying to turn fears of foreign infiltration into law. But as lawmakers work through the legislation, the debate is exposing an increasingly awkward question for the Islamic Republic: How far should the state go in policing Iranians' contact with the outside world? At the center of that debate is Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, who, at least publicly, is doing a balancing act. He has defended the need for tougher measures against foreign infiltration while warning that the current draft of the legislation goes too…

Why More Homes Are Switching From Gas to Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to gas-powered central heating systems and are increasingly being used in new construction, often driven by government incentives. A heat pump uses technology similar to that found in a refrigerator or an air conditioner, extracting heat from a source, such as the surrounding air, and amplifying and transferring the heat to where it is needed. As most of the heat is transferred rather than generated, heat pumps are far more efficient than conventional heating technologies such as boilers…
