How will companies align with the regulations that came into force last year? What steps should be taken this year?DIRECTIVE (EU) 2018/852 amending Directive 94/62 / EC on packaging and packaging waste - eco-design of packaging. Prevent the production of packaging waste and promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of packaging waste instead of its final disposal, thus contributing to the transition to a circular economy.What is the stage of their transposition? Do other Directives need to be implemented in the future?
Depozit Return System(DRS) in Bulgaria Deposit-return systems can be the most effective choice against environmental pollution and for material recovery. It achieves higher rates that any other system of oseparate collection of raw materials (90% on average, up to 97% in some countries like Germany or Norway). Because of that deposit-return systems are currently in high focus in Europe.Norvegia, Lithuania, Germany, Sweeden have introduced a deposit system for single-use bottles. Other European countries are already taking steps to introduce such a system, including în France and Romania, the introduction is being discussed. Trough 2019 EU Directive on Single Use Plastic the EU has also made a significant push towards the introduction of the DRS system in many European countries.When will the SGR start in Bulgaria? How will the awareness campaign be conducted in terms of selective collection?
