Instead of harvesting and profiting we changed the terminology to “return” retrieve” (in Hebrew: meshivim=returning). And that is how the name was born, accurate with a message or pioneership. The logo and brand language were inspired by the reflection of the dessert mountains in the dead sea.
The movie explains that in order to maintain the stability of the Dead Sea and to avoid overflow the government together with the Dead Sea factories, Tamar regional council, hotel owners and green organizations decided on a permanent solution – salt harvest.
