The Government presents a draft waste prevention law just before the Catalan elections. Its continuity will depend on the next legislature and whether it wants to continue it.
The law aims for Catalonia to reduce its total waste by 15% in 2030 compared to the weight it had in 2010. The aim is to reach a reuse rate of between 80% and 90% in 2035. In Spain as a whole, the Waste Law of 2022 is in force. The project aims to reduce waste as much as possible and encourage reuse, and to do so I have different measures that affect users, but above all, companies. In the case of razors, the law includes a ban on non-rechargeable razor being sold in the Catalan market from 2025. That is in all municipalities of Catalonia, all in all, is an incentive for users to return plastic cans, cartons and cigarette butts in exchange for an economic incentive. The Generalitat proposes a system for return and return of waste within a period of two years.
