The Justice Ministry is to significantly slash the use of single-use plastic from January 1, replacing it with multi-use crockery and cutlery and installing mini dishwashers in staff kitchens.
The move joins other environment-friendly actions, such as scanning investigative materials instead of photocopying them (saving 17.5 tons of paper and three million pages per year), using fully recyclable paper and printing on both sides, installing the most energy-efficient electrical and air conditioning items and reducing the use of electricity and water.
It will soon approve digital methods for having documents notarized or obtaining an apostille.
