Summary.

The bill encourages nationwide recycling of inorganic materials by the population, allowing it to be used as a means of payment for household electricity, water and garbage collection services. Its purpose is to mitigate environmental pollution, especially that affecting watersheds and coasts, and to prevent inorganic materials from being dumped in landfills, streets, streams or rivers. It would be mandatory throughout the national territory and would regulate the participation of every individual, resident or visitor, in this incentive program. The initiative argues that current laws promoting recycling have not managed to reduce pollution caused by the public.
