Summary
The "Reglamento para el Manejo de los Desechos Peligrosos Industriales N°27001-MINAE" was introduced in 1998 in Costa Rica to regulate the handling of hazardous industrial waste. The regulation imposes certain obligations on businesses that produce, transport, or dispose of hazardous waste. Businesses must obtain an environmental permit, keep records of waste generation and disposal, implement safety measures, and ensure that hazardous waste is transported by licensed carriers. The regulation also requires businesses to properly label and package hazardous waste and to submit annual reports on their waste management activities to the regulatory authorities.
