At PRIA Environment Bulgaria Conference from May 14th 2025, the stakeholders from the industry have sent the same message: DRS is a solution for reaching Bulgaria’s environmental targets and it needs a comprehensive legislative framework and an optimum DRS design.
Nikolay Valkanov, Executive Director of the Association for Modern Trade, underscored the need for a stable logistics infrastructure, particularly for small businesses, to facilitate effective participation in the system. „It is crucial to build a logistics network that ensures convenience for traders and promotes consumer trust,” he said, adding that political will and swift institutional action are vital to accelerating progress.
The conference served as a critical step in the ongoing effort to establish a DRS in Bulgaria, signaling the beginning of a long-term communication campaign to inform and engage stakeholders across all sectors.
