To protect the environment from PET wastes
The rise in the one-way no deposit mechanism for PET bottles has greatly contributed to the problem of littering in the country. Waste PET bottles also pose serious constraint in landfilling with regard to the large volume they occupy and the extremely slow decomposition rate (about 500 years).

Type of measure
|
Permit to bottle soft drinks and water in PET bottles
Subject to meeting the conditions attached to the permit such as engaging the services of a PET recycler for the collect of used PET bottles from the waste stream and submitting annual returns on PET; a permit is issued to the company with a validity of three years. The Permit is renewable subject to the satisfaction of the Director of Environment on compliance to conditions imposed under the Permit.
