The Swedish government will make changes to the obligations for
waste reduction with the condition of compensation for consumers
regarding the possible increase in fuel prices,
Azernews reports.
Climate and Environment Minister Romina Purmohtari presented the
directives of a new study aligned with the European Union’s climate
requirements at a press conference. She stated that waste in Sweden
is expected to increase significantly in 2024, indicating a need
for new policies.
Changes in the government’s climate policy have led to a sharp
rise in emissions, increasing the risk of Sweden not meeting its
2030 targets.
This year, the obligation level was reduced to 6% for gasoline
and diesel, but in the fall, the government plans to change this
decision and raise the level back to 10%.
