墨西哥城（1月27日下午5时东部时间） -塑料行业领导者，希望能够阻止一项法律，将禁止非墨西哥城所有商店可降解塑料袋在今年晚些时候说，他们已经说服当局采取较为严厉的的态度。

城市的环境部长已同意修订有关法律，由资本的立法议会通过3月，吉列萨拉斯说，墨西哥全国塑料工业协会（Anipac）总裁。

该法律还祝圣的，在一年之内，所有的塑料包装，而不仅仅是聚乙烯袋，应包含生物降解剂。

大会辩论很可能在3月底再次此事，根据阿尔弗雷多洛佩斯马绍罗，Anipac公司的总经理。

萨拉斯说，环境部长德尔加多是玛莎同情Anipac的论点，即更好的行动当然会为政府将制定更严格的垃圾分类和回收措施。

Anipac还建议，在废塑料回收不适宜用于燃料发电工厂。

“我们必须安装160 [发电]全国各地的工厂，”萨拉斯说，在1月27日的电子邮件，解释说，每个设施将有一个处理每天450吨塑料垃圾。

他说：“回收设备，可以将垃圾转化为能源供应商为我们提供高达百分之八十五的融资，当且仅当我们获得由市政府特许权使用的垃圾和安排欧洲常规武装力量条约（联邦电力委员会）采取我们产生的能源。“

据萨拉斯，对Anipac的一些想法来自建议由塑料工业公司和类似组织协会。

他讨论了北角显示与SPI总裁兼首席执行官比尔Carteaux和其他人的问题，去年在芝加哥，他说。

萨拉斯，谁描述了法律，因为它是“不正当”的缩写，认为这是不可能遵守在墨西哥这样一个大国。其他人则认为可能是墨西哥的回收，而萨拉斯说，聘请20000全职工人，另外100,000间接灾难性的。

墨西哥共有31个州和墨西哥城联邦区。墨西哥城大都市区大约有20万居民，谁约占全国总人口的五分之一代表。

环境部长德尔加多没有立即发表评论。但苏珊娜特鲁希略，一个联邦区政府发言人表示，她是对的塑料袋禁令的立法变化的可能性认识。

MEXICO CITY (Jan. 27, 5 p.m. ET) -- Plastics industry leaders, hoping to head off a law that would ban non-degradable plastic bags in all Mexico City stores later this year, say they have convinced authorities to adopt a less draconian attitude.

The city’s environment minister has agreed to propose amendments to the law, passed by the capital’s Legislative Assembly in March, said Guillermo Salas, president of Mexico’s National Plastics Industry Association (Anipac).

The law also ordains that, within a year, all plastic packaging, not just polyethylene bags, should contain bio-degradable agents.

The Assembly is likely to debate the matter again in late March, according to Alfredo López Machorro, Anipac’s managing director.

Salas said Environment Minister Martha Delgado is sympathetic to Anipac’s argument that a better course of action would be for the government to introduce more stringent garbage separation and recycling measures.

Anipac also is proposing that plastic waste unfit for recycling be used to fuel electricity-generating plants.

“We would have to install 160 [electricity-generating] plants across the country,” Salas said in a Jan. 27 email, explaining that each facility would have a capacity for processing 450 tons of plastic waste per day.

“The supplier of recycling equipment that converts garbage into energy has offered us financing of up to 85 percent if, and only if, we obtain a concession from municipal governments to use the rubbish and arrange for the CFE (Federal Electricity Commission) to take the energy we generate.”

According to Salas, some of Anipac’s ideas come from recommendations by the Society of the Plastics Industry Inc. and similar organizations.

He discussed the issue with SPI President and CEO Bill Carteaux and others at the NPE show last year in Chicago, he said.

Salas, who described the law as it stands as “perverse,” believes that it is impossible to comply with in a large country like Mexico. Others have said that it could be catastrophic for Mexico’s recyclers, which Salas said employ 20,000 full-time workers and another 100,000 indirectly.

Mexico comprises 31 states and the Federal District of Mexico City. The Mexico City metropolitan area has about 20 million inhabitants, who represent about a fifth of the country’s total population.

Environment Minister Delgado was not immediately available for comment. But Susana Trujillo, a spokeswoman for the Government of the Federal District, indicated she was aware of the possibility of changes to the bag ban legislation.
