Fee for recycling paper bags may decrease

26 мая 2020
In Belarus, the tax for enterprises organizing the collection and disposal of paper bags may be reduced. Such a norm (within the framework of a campaign for the replacement of plastic containers) is provided for by a draft resolution of the Council of Ministers. Now it is submitted for public discussion. In case of approval, the fee for the disposal of paper packaging for packaging manufacturers may get cheaper from 130 to 90 rubles per ton. According to the developers, this measure should stimulate the transition of manufacturers to environmentally friendly packaging.
