Every year, companies from a wide range of sectors need to carry out a series of actions in order to remain in compliance with environmental legislation – and to help them with this task, Fiesp and Ciesp have developed a calendar of environmental obligations.
The aim of this schedule is to alert you to the deadlines and the main data to be sent to the competent bodies, so that businesses can organize themselves better, complying with what is required at state and federal level.

DMR: WASTE MOVEMENT DECLARATION
The DMR is compulsory for all businesses and activities registered (Generators and Recipients) in the MTR systems, even when there is no generation or movement of waste during the period.

The declaration is made electronically on Ibama’s website, and the declarant must be previously linked to the Federal Technical Register – CTB/IBAMA.
