The Resource Challenge

• Population to reach 9 billion by 2050; • 2 billion middle income earners in 'developing countries'

are expected to triple their consumption by 2020 • In a “business as usual” scenario, extraction of resources

will triple by 2050 • Global demand for food, feed and fibre will increase with

70% by 2050, while 60% of the ecosystems underpinning their supply are already degraded or used unsustainably

• Competition for resources (including raw materials) increases, resource scarcities appear, prices go up - this will affect the European economy

• In Europe we consume 16 tonnes of materials annually per capita, 6 tonnes of which become waste

To move towards a European Recycling Society

The 20202020 recycling targets were set. It includes:

50%50% for the preparing for re-use and the recycling of at least paper, metal, plastic and glass from households and other origins (waste streams similar to household waste);

Bulgaria set intermediate targets: Until 1 January 2016 г. – at least 25% Until 1 January 2018 г. – at least 40% Until 1 January 2020 г. – at least 50%

The WMA specifies municipalities within Waste management regions. Those regions have to implement a common waste management system, including regional landfills and other waste treatment facilities.

The municipalities of each of those 55 Waste management regions, established a Regional Waste Management Association being responsible for the development of a sustainable and modern waste management in line with the new legislationn including the build-up of the necessary infrastructure on the territory of the region

The regions must establish systems for separate collection, reuse, recycling and recovery of waste, and ensure the fulfilment of the obligatory targets :

Development of separate collection systems and subsequent treatment of batteries, electrical and electronic equipment, household hazardous waste;

progressive establishment of a municipal or regional recycling sites for integrated waste management including hazardous waste from households;

optimization of existing systems for collection and treatment of specific waste streams and ensure the necessary investments;

infrastructure for collection;

use of mobile collection points;

information campaigns to raise the level of awareness and consciousness of the people for their role in the separate collection of waste and environmental hazards and human health in poor management;

strengthen management control on waste treatment facilities




1. Regional landfills for municipal waste

2. Installations for pre-treatment

3. Transfer stations

4. Closure of existing landfills, which doesn’t meet the requirements
