foto 2022 SDDRYesterday Ana Juan, President and Councillor of Commerce, and Antoni Tur, Councillor of Environment, met with retailers on the island to discuss a pilot project to offer rebates on returned reusable containers. Councillor Tur encouraged attendees to form a commission so that they could participate in preparing the project, an initiative which is being overseen the regional government. He highlighted the business owners' will to "find common ground and move this project –which, I am convinced, will be fantastic for Formentera– forward". Representatives of the island's government will now take the proposed commission to the regional level, Tur added, "because the project must be implemented with the consensus of all parties involved".
