What to do with the discards from plastic waste sorting machines?

Questions to the Ministry of the Environment in connection with the new waste regulations

Questions to the Ministry of the Environment in connection with the new waste regulations 1. How will the value of 6.5 MJ/kg be determined OBJECTIVELY?

Reaction of the Czech Association of Circular Waste Management to the press release of the ČAOH In Prague 27.11.2020 - The opinion of the Czech Association of Circular Waste Management (ČAOH) on the discussed waste laws published yesterday corresponds to its name.
