The Environmental Protection Ministry of Israel issued a memo on June 23, 2011 with a new law to recycle electronic equipment.  Under the new law, liability will be imposed on manufacturers and importers of electronic products in Israel to fund the evacuation and treatment of waste caused by the products they market.

The law provides incentives for electronic equipment, in order to encourage re-use of the equipment, and to reduce the amount of waste generated from these products. The law brings other benefits such as prevention of health hazards, creating new markets,and making new jobs that will help thousands of unemployed in Israel.
