Montenegrin new waste law draft – Chapter 56 “Waste packaging”

«Privredno društvo koje upravlja sistemom preuzimanja, sakupljanja i obrade otpadne ambalaže, dužno je da preduzme mjere za smanjivanje upotrebe plastičnih kesa, tako da:- se lagane plastične kese za nošenje debljine zida manjeod 50 mikrona od 31. januara 2020 ne daju besplatno naprodajnome mjestu robe ili proizvoda, i- nivo godišnje potrošnje od 31. januara 2025. godine ne premaši 40 laganih plastičnih kesa debljine zida manje od 50 mikrona za nošenje po osobi.»

Zero Waste Montenegro recommendations to waste law draft:

Dodati definiciju termina:• “Ambalaža”, (Direktiva Evropskog parlamenta i Savjeta 94/62/EC ) . • „Plastične kese za nošenje “,„Laka plastična kesa” , „Vrlo laka plastična kesa za nošenje”, „Okso-

razgradive plastične kese za nošenje” (Direktive (EU) 2015/720)• “Biorazgradive kompostabilne kese za nošenje”

• “Skratiti proizvodnju, uvoz i prodaju okso-razgradivih plastičnih kesa od 31. januara 2020 najmanje 50% ukupne mase plastičnih kesa.

• Zabraniti proizvodnju, uvoz i prodaju okso-razgradivih plastičnih kesa od 31. januara 2021”

• Preporuciti proizvodnju, uvoz i prodaju kompostabilnih kesa za nošenje kao alternativu drugimvrstama plastičnih kesa, i paralelno sprovoditi edukaciju stanovnistva o negativnom uticajuplasticnih kesa na zivotnu sredinu i zdravlje ljudi da bi iskljucili koriscenje jednokratnihplasticnih kesa (evropski standard EN 13432 ).

Zero Waste Montenegro recommendations to waste law draft:

Dodati jasne mjere o depozitnoj povratnoj šeme (DRS) za ambalazu i jasne obaveze

proizvođača / uvoznika i maloprodajnih kompanija i omogućiti im da se organizuju

kako bi sistem postali u funkciji.

LITTER

beverage containers

other

Litter around the world is made of 40 to 60 % of beverage containers (plastic

bottles, glass bottles, aluminium cans)


5/4/2019



Currently in Montenegro, we give little to no value to those beverage containers in our society

only thisone


5/4/2019



If we implement a DEPOSIT RETURN SCHEME for bottles, we can achieve in less than one year from 75% to 95% of recycling rate,

as in the countries which are already doing it such as Lithuania, Denmark, Sweden, etc


5/4/2019



How do other countries do it?

• Their government does only ONE thing: it sets an eco-tax in the law for each type of beverage containers and proposes to reduce the tax in function of the number of bottles recycled.

• Then it is entirely up to the producers and retailers to organize themselves to recycle as much as possible.

• ….and the best way for them to do it is to create a centralized system – which is the most cost-effective way!

What does Montenegrin Government says about it?

“we can not prescribe that organization established by the retailers, importers and producer

MUST be centralized and unique. Market and open competition will arrange number of organized system” → but it is not prescribed, it is the choice of the producers! And open competition will NOT arrange an effective recycling system, if no economical incentive set in the law…

→ It is now required by the EU Commission to attain a 90% recycling rate for bottles: and DRS is the only proven method to achieve it.

“There are no DRS for bottles (plastic or glass; or both) in new proposed Law but there is possibility with mentioned Regulation which must be adopted immediately after Law.”

→ A good DRS system saves citizen tax money by making the producers/importers RESPONSIBLE for the waste they create, and saves the Government money in waste management.
