Plastic bottles conquer the market

Article Abstract:

Czech Republic: The Ministry for the Environment plans to fix a special quota on PET. According to the quota, firms would have to recycle 50% of all PET bottles by 2005 and maybe nearly 80% by 2008. Eko-Kom (Prague, Czech Republic), involved in the salvage, sorting and recycling of waste, estimates that every third sold PET bottle is processed by recycling in the Czech Republic. PET bottles represent about 5% of all packaging on the Czech market. Eko-Kom associates more than 400 firms which produce or import nearly 40% of all packaging and about 3,200 municipalities with about 6.2 mil inhabitants. Eko-Kom is a non-profitable organization which contributes to the salvage, sorting and recycling of waste. The firm receives finances from the contributions of firms, the fee is about 0.1% of product prices.

JM makes individual contracts

Article Abstract:

Jihoceske mlekarny (JM) (Ceske Budejovice, Czech Republic), the largest Czech milk processor, takes 1.4 mil lt of milk per day. The firm has directly agreed about milk supplies with private farmers and has arranged individual contracts with them. Besides, JM has arranged a contract on milk supplies with the sales cooperative Jih (Czech Republic). The step has broken the project of the Ministry of Agriculture to ensure one milk supplier, Mlecoop (Czech Republic), a republic-wide cooperative. Mlecoop was to purchase milk from agrarians and was to supply it to individual milk products firms for a fixed price. According to JM, Mlecoop is an unnecessary interling.
