The Jerusalem District Court rejects an appeal by producers and exporters of large plastic bottles, ordering them to pay a NIS 48 million ($14.7 million) fine imposed by the Environmental Protection Ministry in 2019 for failing to hit targets for collecting and recycling the bottles.
The court also orders them to pay the ministry NIS 30,000 ($9,100) to cover costs.
