Valparaíso accelerates waste management plan as landfill degradation worsens

Chile's Valparaíso region is accelerating its regional solid waste management plan, driven by landfill degradation and the need to handle 884,000 tons of waste annually. The plan prioritizes composting plants and other initiatives, but implementation details and funding remain unclear. This matters as landfill capacity constraints could escalate into a public health and environmental crisis if not addressed.
