Resumen

This Act underlines that a distributor or dealer must obtain a permit from the Minister responsible for the Environment to sell at wholesale or retail beverages in sealed glass, metal, aluminium, steel or plastic bottles or cans less than one gallon in size. Moreover, a distributor or dealer shall be exempted from the provisions of this Act by the Minister in case such distributor or dealer has in place an adequate system for the recycling of beverage containers.
