February 2013

Alone Impossible, Together it’s Possible
Realities prior to harmonization
No regulations for sorting and recycling packaging waste
No such systems in place or primitive systems not well
organized
No culture to sort waste
The infrastructure in place was in most of the cases
inadequate
Very different organization of the public sector and the
local authorities
Waste was mainly government’s or local government’s job

Challenges
To change the habits and the culture of a “throw it all”
society
To quickly reorganize the public sector, the local authorities
and the industry to establish the relevant responsibilities
and eventually develop operational and effective systems
To develop the local sorting and recycling infrastructure
To develop proper local energy recovery infrastructure
To face eventually saturated recycling markets
internationally
To make all of the above at a socially acceptable cost

conscious society

Collection and sorting is outsourced. We call for tenders for
the selection of the contractor that will cooperate with us.
This ensures that we get good quality services as well as good
prices.
By outsourcing collection and sorting we managed to help
other companies to expand and invest on new sorting
technologies, new trucks etc.
