Statute overview

About this statute

This article requires competent authorities and several market actors to take waste-prevention measures, gives consumers some reuse/reparability protections, and bans landfill destruction of unsold non-perishable goods and certain packaging substances. This article requires public prevention programs to include food-waste reduction measures, requires certain food-sector businesses to follow a waste-prevention hierarchy, and allows local authorities to adopt supporting measures and fee discounts. Los causantes de la contaminación deben descontaminar y recuperar el suelo; en ciertos casos responden también propietarios y poseedores, y en urgencias el promotor debe informar de inmediato a la autoridad competente. This article says contaminated soil cleanup and recovery may be carried out through agreements, public agreements, or certain public procurement contracts, and the obliged party must pay the costs. Permite la descontaminación voluntaria del suelo mediante un proyecto aprobado por la autoridad autonómica competente, con plazos para aprobarlo e iniciar su ejecución.
