No limits are the imagination in reducing disposal fees for dual systems who need to acquire the packaging waste from household close.

The royalties for plastic packaging cost just three years ago at DSD officially almost 1300 Euro per ton. Today it gets to prices of 650 euros per tonne is whispered.
