"Waste in the Spotlight" is a column whereby we bring the topic of waste, which is very difficult, multi-layered and important one not only for the Ministry of Environment and Water, but for Bulgaria, where it belongs: in the spotlight.

Why is the topic of waste important for each of us?

Why is waste a resource?

Who is responsible for our country (not) resembling a landfill?

Why is it important to know what stands behind product fees?

Why does Bulgaria need a deposit system?

How are European regulations introduced and implemented in our country?

Why is it important to collect separately?

Are there any other questions? Yes, there are!

"Waste in the Spotlight" is a commitment to transparency and responsibility so that Bulgaria does not drown in waste but manages it as a resource and in the interest of society.

In this section, we will present the numerous aspects of the Waste sector, we will talk about the challenges, the solutions sought and found. Because when we talk openly about how the waste management system works, we can achieve both understanding and cooperation.
