Israel to ban landfill of packaging from 2020

摘要

By 2014, packaging manufacturers and importers must recycle 60 per cent of one way packaging put on the market, according to Israel's draft packaging law.rnThis new piece of legislation, which incorporates the producer responsibility principle and adopts the guidelines and targets of the EU packaging and packaging waste Directive, also bans the landfill of packaging waste from January 2020 "as a complementary step", the Ministry of Environment said in its memo on the draft distributed to government ministries last week.
