Palpa recycling fees 2024
The can recycling fee increases from €0.00525 -> €0.00971. The increase is due to the decrease in the world market price of aluminum, which causes a significant decrease in sales revenue of the material.
Plastic bottle recycling fees will increase in all recycling fee categories. The increase is due to the drop in the world market price of recycled plastic, which causes a significant decrease in sales revenue of the material.
Glass bottle recycling fees will increase in all recycling fee categories. This is caused by an increase in the costs of transportation and plant processing (fuel, wages, energy, interest).
