From the new year, that is, from Friday, January 1st 2021, the environmental end of 7 minutes for plastic bags. However, there are exceptions.
Specifically from 1/1/2021 the end is extended to the plastic bags in order not to bypass the provisions of the previous law by producing a thicker bag and thus avoiding the payment of the environmental fee. Now this "window" is closed and pollution from disposable plastics is treated more holistically.
In application of the article 6 A of the law 2939/2001, from 1.1.2021 consumers are required to pay an environmental fee per piece of plastic carrying bag, with the exception of biodegradable (or biodegradable) and compostable plastic carrying bags, as defined in par.29 of the article 2 of the same law. The fee is set at seven (7) minutes.
Διευκρινίζεται ότι από την υποχρέωση καταβολής περιβαλλοντικού τέλους εξαιρούνται οι πλαστικές συσκευασίες οι οποίες προορίζονται να πληρούνται από το προσωπικό των επιχειρήσεων λιανικής πώλησης τροφίμων και ποτών, used for health and safety reasons, as primary packaging for bulk food.
Ενδεικτικά παραδείγματα τέτοιων συσκευασιών είναι οι πλαστικές συσκευασίες που χρησιμοποιούνται στα τμήματα κοπής τυριών, cold cuts, meat, fish and seafood, καθώς και οι πλαστικές συσκευασίες που τοποθετούνται τα αλίπαστα.
