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.
Highlighting the importance of collective effort, Vladimir Ivanov, Chairman of the Union of Brewers in Bulgaria, emphasized that the event served as a platform to demonstrate strong collaboration between the obligated industry and the non-governmental sector. He noted the significance of transparency to the public and underscored the commitment to align with European best practices in packaging management. „Our goal is clear – to implement the best European practices in our country and work together to protect the environment,” Ivanov stated.
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
