Gov’t adopts new car recycling law

Poland’s government adopted a new draft law on the recycling of vehicles, news agency IAR reported. In accordance with the bill, there will no longer be a PLN 500 recycling fee for every imported used car. Car disassembling firms will not be entitled to charge for the dismantling of cars coming from the European Economic Area. The companies will be obliged to retain a set level of recycling and will have to pay fines if they fail to do so. Money from the fines will be transferred to the National Fund for Environmental Protection and Water Management.
