Employers, Local Governments and Environmental Fund Seek Changes to Waste Sorting Legislation

Employers' organizations, local governments and the Slovak Environmental Fund have called for changes to be removed from proposed amendments to environmental legislation. The groups are raising concerns about negative impacts from the current waste sorting and collection system. The Environmental Fund, which manages state environmental programs and financing, along with municipal authorities and business representatives, argue that the planned legislative changes could worsen existing problems in Slovakia's waste management infrastructure.
