A Draft law "On Natural Resources Tax" from the The Ministry of Environment of the Republic of Latvia defines subjects of tax, taxable objects, and tax rates, proceedings of tax estimations and payments, immunity from taxes and split of income from nature resources tax payments among state and local authorities budgets.
The Ministry elaborated the new draft law edition that is prepared in accordance with Government Declaration and paragraph 16.5.2. of Government Action Plan and proposes that further nature resources tax will be applied also to electric and electronic devices to which Waste Management Law is related.
Compared to enforced law "On Nature Resource Tax" in this draft law terminology is specified in accordance with legislative acts and also it is defined that tax does not have to be paid if taxpayer implements or is involved in implementing management systems of outworn vehicle, management systems of used packing or in management systems of environmentally hazardous waste.
Elaborating the new edition of law "On nature Resources Tax" in accordance with Government Action Plan recommendations and guidelines of Ministry of Finance were taken into account that in the draft law it is not advisable to include detailed legal norms (and delegation on proceedings of usage of assets gained from taxes and targets and action of Latvian Environmental Protection Fund). Instead, these should be defined in a separate law. This is why at the same time draft law of "Latvian Environmental Protection Fund Law" was elaborated

Waste management poses challenges, but could unlock major environmental and economic gains
Every day, the city of Rio de Janeiro, one of the largest metropolises in the Southern Hemisphere, generates 17,000 tonnes of waste, ranging from large industrial debris to candy wrappers bought innocently at newspaper stands. While this waste presents a serious and urgent environmental challenge, it also fuels an increasingly significant portion of the economy, with benefits extending beyond financial gains. - When we look at developed European countries, many are already recycling between 40% and 50%, with some reaching 60%.

Citing a 2025 report, Maluf mentioned that Brazil literally throws away R$27 billion annually, while municipalities spend significantly more - R$45 billion - managing all this waste, often overlooking the environmental impact or economic potential buried in landfills and dumps. - We spend R$45 billion to collect and dispose of waste in landfills, yet we manage to recycle less than a third of the potential. I believe it will be necessary to review contracts, create performance-based remuneration mechanisms, and pay for both effectively sorted materials and those diverted from landfills - he added. According to the IBGE, 60.5% of Brazilian municipalities adopt some form of selective waste collection, and several initiatives serve as examples of how to manage city waste. In his panel presentation, Bernardo Ornelas, Project Coordinator at the Rio de Janeiro Municipal Urban Cleaning Company (Comlurb), highlighted Ecoparque do Caju, a national benchmark in waste management and recycling. There, received materials are sorted and can be used for biogas production, organic compounds for urban gardens, or human consumption, in the case of still...
