in Sweden, households, and consumers have nothing to be ashamed of, we are one of the countries that recycles the most newspapers, magazines, and newsprint. The paper industry has built-up, and operating a collection system in place that will enable the tidningsläsaren 9 times out of 10, it goes to the recycling, on the farm, in the villauppfarten, or in the neighbourhood, in order to give back to his magazine into the return system. Our aim in the future is that every newspaper should be recycled, and we have to take responsibility for the future of the system continues to deliver the highest level of service, environmental services, and the cirkularitet.
the Swedish Waste management would like to put a different picture of the reality in his op-ed. The industry is accused of not having a future ambition, or, the history of recycling the newspapers, magazines and waste paper, to the satisfaction of the Swedish people. It is, dare we say it falls on its own absurdity.
When we ask the households to think the 9 out of 10, it’s easy to recycle magazines and newspapers. That’s why we know that our system generates a high level of environmental integrity of the scheme and of the service.
We are in agreement with the minister for the environment, when she says that the flexibility and non-detaljstyrande regulations to be in place for the future of the collection. The future is going to be based on the same model as in the day, with curbside collection, and a reasonable distance to the waste disposal site. An increase in the ability to respond to local needs and conditions, making it even easier to submit their papers to the recycling process in the future.
. However, to the conditions which are now being discussed in newspapers, magazines and waste paper, will get a completely different and much more negative impact than what the government wants. In contrast, from the packaging, so reducing the demand for printed newspapers and magazines. The volumes of newsprint prices falling by about 10 per cent each year since 2007. This trend is expected to accelerate, with major consequences for the society as a result.
the newspaper industry is in a period of transformation, with major challenges to be faced in order to cope with the changing läsarvanor, and the deterioration of the terms of the peace process. The increased pressure in the future, in the form of a requirement to provide more extensive collection system, it will lead to a dramatic increase in the cost. As a result, several of the closure of the local nyhetsaktörer, the increased subscription costs of newspaper readers and fewer and fewer of the actors and of the citizens participating in the public debate.
It may not be to the effect that the minister of environment or the minister of culture, wishes. We live in a time when society collectively has to find a way to fulfill the Agenda of the 2030’s. Then push for a system that already generates a high level of environmental integrity of the scheme, with the effect that it is the democratic conversation, and the circular economy-is being undermined is in the wrong direction. We expect that the government delivers a balanced presentation of the legal framework for the tidningsåtervinningen, so that other public interests will not be damaged.
