• stimulating the implementation of product life cycle assessment; 
• encouraging the development of environmental and business management systems aimed at improving production processes and the reuse of solid waste, including recovery and energy use; 
• stimulating environmental labeling and sustainable consumption; 
• mandatory for municipalities to create the municipal plan for integrated solid waste management;
• obligation to transport hazardous solid waste.

Diffusion strategies

PNRS provides in Article 18 of the Law "The preparation of a municipal plan for integrated solid waste management, under the terms provided for by this Law, is a condition for the Federal District and the Municipalities to have access to resources of the Federal Government, or controlled by it, destined to enterprises and services related to urban cleaning and solid waste management, or to be benefited by incentives or financing from federal credit or development entities for such purpose".
 

Monitoring strategies

The National Solid Waste Management Information System (SINIR) monitors all information related to solid waste management in the country. The information is declared by the municipality itself to the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change, manager of said system.
 

Financing mechanisms
