'Save the Planet' (waste management, recycling, environment) - South-East European Eco Forum & Exhibition
SEE Member States are all aiming to become a part of the vision for a European circular economy. Governments across the Region are updating their national legislation, pursuing a strategy to modernise old infrastructures and promoting the waste hierarchy with innovative approaches. With EU Member States seeking to recycle 50 % of their waste by 2020, reduce the disposal of biodegradable waste to 25 % of total volume. The demand for separating, baling, recycling and composting has been increased and many international companies enter the regional market.
