Bulgaria\u2019s official reports to Eurostat claim an above-average recycling rate for plastic packaging waste (50.6% in 2019), but local data tells a different story. Many municipalities fail to meet the EU\u2019s 50% recycling target for municipal waste, with over half\u2014132 municipalities\u2014reporting recycling rates below 10% in 2019, and 43 recording practically zero.<\/p>\n<p>The Bulgarian National Statistical Institute (NSI) and PROs report drastically different figures. In 2022, the NSI reported 148,367 tonnes of plastic packaging waste, while PROs reported 105,359 tonnes of plastic packaging released on the market by their members \u2014 a difference of 43,008 tonnes, or 30% less according to PROs. Similarly, in 2020, PROs underreported plastic packaging placed on the market by approximately 78%.<\/p>\n<p>Larissa Copello, Packaging &amp; Reuse Policy Officer at Zero Waste Europe, states: \u201cThis is a European problem. Last year, Zero Waste Europe brought attention to the problem in Spain, exposing how the packaging PRO was misreporting collection data. As a direct result, the Spanish Government announced the introduction of a nationwide deposit return system to meet its recycling targets. It is urgent that the EU creates the right tools and rules to guarantee proper oversight and reporting. A European organisation in charge of compliance monitoring is needed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.recycling-magazine.com\/2025\/03\/19\/large-reporting-discrepancies-in-bulgarian-waste-collection-data\/\">Recycling Magazine<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/large-reporting-discrepancies-in-bulgarian-waste-collection-data\/\">Large reporting discrepancies in Bulgarian waste collection data<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2593,575,512,6348],"class_list":["post-138404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bulgaria","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-reporting","tag-waste-collection"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=138404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/138404\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=138404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=138404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=138404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
