The bill (Reg. No. 2672) suggests differentiate environmental tax rates for disposal of waste in specially allotted places or in the waste burial sites not only depending on the level of hazardousness of waste, but also depending on the presence of the system of waste sorting (or lack of such a system) as well as the system of rubbish recycling (incineration)

Generally upholding development of waste disposal sector on the territory of Ukraine, as well as modernization of the existing and introduction of new waste utilization technologies, Committee members expressed several reservations about the bill.
