The Tunisian Ministry of Environment said, on Monday, that it had signed an agreement with Italy to return illegally imported toxic waste. A Tunisian company had imported more than 280 containers of waste illegally from Italy in 2020 and falsely claimed that the household waste – barred from import under Tunisia law – was, in fact, plastic scrap to be recycled.
