KEEPING CLEAN : France to set penalties on non-recycled plastic.
Paris : France plans to introduce a penalty system next year that would increase the costs of consumer goods with packaging made of non-recycled plastic, part of pledge to use only recycled plastic, nationwide by 2025, an environmental ministry official said on Sunday.
Brune Poorson, secretary of state for ecological transition, said the move was one of several to be implemented in coming years, including s deposit-refund scheme for plastic bottles.
''Declaring war on plastics is not enough. We need to transform the French economy,'' she told the Journal du Dimanche newspaper.
Under the new plan, products with recycled plastic packaging could cost up to 10 percent less, Poirson said,
''When there's a choice between two bottles, one made of recycled plastic and the other without, the first will be less expensive,'' she said.
''When non-recycled plastic will cost more, that will eliminate much of the excessive packaging,'' Poirson said. [AFP]
