According to Prof. Ayalon, “The orange bins (to collect packaging waste) in local authorities are currently not the solution since the collection rate is very low. The Ministry of Environmental Protection failed. The targets set for waste management over the years have not been achieved. The landfill levy and separation of waste at source do not contribute to reducing landfilling. It is essential to reflect to the public that waste treatment, whether by recycling, energy production or landfilling, involves very high economic and environmental costs.
