A parliamentary committee report recommends a 13 percent tax on non returnable beverage containers and a 4 percent ban on ring pull tops. The proposal aims to fund local authorities and recycling education, while encouraging returnable containers and supporting research in solid waste disposal. The plan, seen as environmentally targeted, argues the ban should not punish industry and notes insufficient evidence on plastic container disposal.
