Municipalities are obliged to collect or have packaging wastes collected according to the By-
law. In order to carry out these activities, they prepare and submit their packaging waste ma-
nagement plans to the MoEUCC in order to specify by whom, how, in what way and when the
accumulation, collection and transport of packaging wastes separately from other wastes at the
source will be carried out. These studies, which were initiated for the first time in 2008, continue.

The results obtained from the users who entered data into the packaging information system
regarding packaging production, amounts and rates of packaging placed on the market based
on intended use, amounts and recovery rates of packaging waste recovered are given in the
following Table and Graphic.
