Next Big Challenge For Israel is Recycling E-waste

As many countries are far behind from western countries in many ways which is in technology, Economy and thinking. So Israel is now taking a head to head with western countries in electronic waste material. As recently advancement in the industry is a new law, which will be tackling the recycling of the e-waste. Last week the law has gone into effect and it has guaranteed that the upcoming year will be good because the waste that had been disposed into the lands and fields will be now recycling with the proper use or disposal. Currently all it needs is a proper authority and infrastructure for consumers because till now they just throw it away into the regular compost. 

In time, the law will be set to open several stores that will be accepting waste, on the basis of its weight and amount of product they put on the market. Moreover the customers will be allowed to take their scrap phones, damaged TV, Computers to the stores, which will be set up in cities and towns and other have put the containers to collect such garbage.


“Various companies will then be responsible for sorting the discarded electronics taken to stores and collection points, after receiving a license to do so from the Environmental Protection Ministry. Two companies, Ecommunity and the Israeli electronic recycling corporation known by its Hebrew acronym MAY, have already received the necessary authorization to deal in discarded electronics, and MAY has already managed to sign a deal with companies that produce and market electronics.” Published on a source.
