The mandatory deposit can ruin selective waste collection

The introduction of deposit on the single-used beverage packagings can eliminate selective waste collection and would cause unreasonable additional costs for the state and the economy – was said at a conference organized by the RECOMPLEX Association.

Although no decision has been made yet, the ministry is considering a proposal for the introduction of a mandatory deposit. The European experiences show that to build out and maintain the deposit system is expensive and only capable for the waste treatment of 10-15 percent of the packagings.
