The project involves the installation of more than 200 specialized containers, the organization of a collection system, sorting, and recycling. The initiative aims to protect the environment from pollution and will reduce the community’s overall waste disposal costs, as the amount of domestic waste will be significantly reduced.

The concept of separate collection of packaging waste based on the principle of extended producer responsibility (EPR) aligns with the practices of EU member states. Its implementation is one of the prerequisites for Ukraine’s European integration. Bucha’s experience will be taken into account in the implementation of a similar system at the national level in Ukraine.

The initiative was made possible through the effective partnership between the Bucha community and UKRPEC, which provides comprehensive organizational and financial support.

Participants:

• FEDORUK Anatolii Petrovych, Mayor of Bucha.
• SLABYI Volodymyr Grygorovych, Head of the Ukrainian Packaging and Environmental Coalition.
• SEMKO Petro Pavlovych, Founder of the Specialized Ecological Company “Rada” (Bucha).
• Representatives of project sponsors, stakeholders, and media.

Location: Bucha, 12 Enerhetykiv Str., City Council.

As part of the presentation, media and stakeholders will have the opportunity to visit the sorting line in Bucha, where waste is further sorted and prepared for processing at domestic enterprises.
