I actually contacted Knowaste a year ago about options here in Israel for such a recycling plant, believe it or not Israel had a representative here (past tense as I tried to contact him again and received no reply), one of the biggest challenges here to recycling is the cost of tipping rubbish - here they are very low 50 NIS per ton as opposed to 100 Euro per ton in Europe (last year's figures), making it so much cheaper to throw your rubbish away instead of recycling. I also believe, considering the profits the compaines making disposable products make, that they themselves should be providing recycling options, but alas that is still a dream! Hi James
