Peru: New environmental fact sheets for solid waste investment projects

In brief

On 30 January 2025, Ministerial Resolution No. 00023-2025-MINAM was published, approving the "Environmental Technical Files" (FTAs) for solid waste investment projects. The new Environmental Technical Files replace the one contained in the Annex to Ministerial Resolution No. 260-2023-MINAM.


Contents

Key takeaways

The FTAs are environmental management instruments complementary to the National System of Environmental Impact Assessment (Sistema Nacional de Evaluación de Impacto Ambiental (SEIA)) and are required for holders of solid waste projects not subject to the SEIA, whether of greater or lesser complexity. They are contained in Annex I and Annex II.

If the solid waste investment projects are not considered in the Environmental Technical Files or if they include two or more typologies detailed within it, the binding opinion of the Ministry of Environment must be requested to determine if environmental certification is required.
