A proposal tabled by MPs from the ruling Law and Justice party would scrap an "unjust" system of fines imposed on car producers that fail to develop a network of waste car collection points covering the entire country. The bill's proponents say the current system penalises firms equally irrespective of the size of network they have created. In its place would be a variable scale of fines depending on the size of the network...

 Utilisation of low-cost adsorbents for removal of heavy metals A Greek technological company has developed an innovative technology for the utilisation of fly ash shaped into pellets as a potential adsorbent for the removal of heavy metals from wastewater. It's an efficient and simple stabilisation process of the utilised adsorbents, guaranteeing their safe disposal in industrial landfills and eliminating the risk of polluting groundwater. The company now seeks partners for technical co-operation, license or those interested in purchasing the know-how. (Ref: 07 GR IHCR 0I2T - 20/06/2007)
