Government of Tunisia - Decree number 2001-843 on conditions for recovery and management of packaging

Sets conditions for recovery and management of packaging, under a public system called "Eco-lef". Eco-lef is managed by the National Waste Management Agency (ANGeD). The system consists of encouraging the private sector to collect packaging waste through the creation of collection micro-enterprises and to sell the collected products to ANGeD. Most of the quantities are collected by informal waste pickers, from households or landfill. The Eco-lef system faces many difficulties, including the reduction in the number of active recyclers and Eco-lef members and issues with financing.
