Jerusalem, 21 September, 2025 (TPS-IL) — The Ministry of Environmental Protection is expanding the scope of planning and construction of advanced waste treatment facilities and is promoting, for the first time, the accreditation of a private entrepreneur to advance a plan in the National Infrastructure Committee, as part of changing the map of the waste sector in Israel.
To that end, the government approved today (Sunday) the authorization of the Electra Eco Green Park Recycling Limited Partnership to promote a statutory plan in the National Infrastructure Committee to establish an advanced end-of-life waste treatment facility.
This is an initial step that offers another channel, alongside existing government planning, to accelerate the establishment of advanced infrastructure for sorting, recycling, and recovering energy from waste, as an alternative to landfilling.
The certification allows entrepreneurs to work with the Ministry of Environmental Protection to promote a program as a national infrastructure, in a way that will provide a solution to the existing gaps in the field of waste treatment in Israel. The move expands the basket of programs that the ministry itself promotes throughout the country and integrates with unprecedented investments in the establishment of sorting, separation and recycling infrastructures – in cooperation with local authorities and private entrepreneurs.
In doing so, the Ministry creates an integrated system of planning and economic support that enables the establishment of advanced facilities throughout the country to reduce landfilling, prevent waste dumping in open areas, preserve natural resources, and drive a local circular economy.
