he government adopted a new decree on packaging and waste packaging under which all producers of packaging, not just those that put more than 15 tonnes of packaging on the market in Slovenia annually, must pay waste treatment fees.
Companies that put less than a tonne of packaging on the market per year can opt for a lump sum. The new rules are deigned to prevent the events of last year, when the waste packaging treatment had to be covered by the state budget after waste treatment companies refused to take packaging beyond their quotas.
