Owner of Aviv Recycling has said that his company is being undercut by Turkey’s lower wages and more lenient regulations. According to the published news, the Israel’s only plastics bottle recycling plant in “that processed recycled plastic bottles has recently closed down.
The Aviv factory in the Naot Haviv Industrial Zone near Be’er Sheva was the destination for all plastic bottles that were collected in recycling bins throughout Israel. With the closure of the factory, the bottles will be exported to recycling centers abroad.
The Knesset Finance Committee has asked the Finance Ministry to assist the ailing factory, Aviv recycling Industries, but so far the ministry has declined.
Aviv Recycling was established 25 years ago in the Neot Hovav industrial zone in the Negev and until recently employed 70 workers. It takes plastics bottles that have been collected for recycling and grinds them into pellets that are used as raw materials for various products. The bottles are collected by two companies, which operate according to the law on package recycling and deposits on drinking containers.
In recent years Israel has been exporting ever-growing quantities of used plastic bottles to other countries, first and foremost Turkey, a move that has made it very difficult for Aviv show a profit. “We can’t compete with the cost of labor in countries like Turkey, which are much lower than here,” said Yaron Mizrahi, head of the Aviv Recycling. “In addition, these are factories that, unlike ours, are not required to use various means of avoiding damages to the environment, which makes our costs even higher.”
