Tunisie Telegraph: Will French Bottle Guaranty Halt Plastic Waste
The article explores the importance of the "deposit" system for plastic bottles as an environmental and economic solution in Tunisia, inspired by the French experience. The system aims to transform bottles from worthless waste into valuable material by charging consumers a small deposit at the time of purchase and refunding it upon return. This encourages recycling and reduces pollution. Tunisia faces challenges with its current waste recovery system, with recycling rates as low as 2.8%, and approximately 80,000 tons of plastic reaching the coast annually, alongside declining effective waste treatment. The article suggests starting with a deposit system for water and beverage bottles, as they are easier to sort, while measuring the results and gradually expanding the initiative. The goal is to reduce waste and turn it into an economic opportunity that can help create jobs and foster industrial development.
