Europe Donates 100,000 Tethered Plastic Caps to Safeguard Palestine’s Nature

Brussels — The European Union today sent 100,000 tethered plastic caps to Palestine. This move supports local efforts to reduce litter in natural areas. The caps come from recycled bottles. EU Environment Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevičius led the initiative. He stated, “These caps prevent wildlife harm.” Palestine’s Ministry of Environmental Affairs welcomed the shipment. Workers in the West Bank will distribute the caps. They target areas like the Jordan Valley. This donation aligns with EU’s Green Deal goals. Palestine aims to cut plastic waste by 20% this year. The shipment arrived via Jordan. It includes training materials for safe use. Officials expect quick deployment in Gaza too. This step boosts EU-Palestine ties on sustainability.
