Interzero at SOSEXPO – June 29, 2023, Warsaw

On June 29, 2023 , SOSEXPO – the 11th International Waste Management Forum – was held at the Novotel hotel in Warsaw. Paweł Lesiak , Vice-President of the Management Board of Interzero, and Edyta Mantorska , Head of the Ecological Education Team, spoke on behalf of Interzero. The event was attended by politicians, representatives of local governments and leading experts in the waste management industry. The event program included discussion panels, expert speeches and presentations on legislation and economic trends, investments and circular economy.

Paweł Lesiak took part in the discussion panel “On the way to circular economy – municipalities in the face of growing EU requirements. What changes need to be implemented today and what changes are yet to come?. The issues raised during the debate included:

• How to improve waste management at the local government level to avoid penalties for failing to achieve recycling levels? What should you invest in and what changes should you introduce?
• What changes and regulations at the central level do we need to improve separate collection and recycling?
• What can municipalities do to prevent waste and promote reuse? What tools are needed to reduce the waste of raw materials?

Edyta Mantorska, presenting a summary of the Interzero report from April 2023 “We are getting into trouble” , discussed Poles’ awareness of waste sorting.

Thank you very much for the invitation – we will see you next year!

Summary of Interzero’s participation in the 11th Hausmesse Kronospan Fair in Szczecinek

May 25 this year Interzero had the pleasure of taking part in the 11th edition of the Hausmesse Fair, organized by Kronospan . It is the largest in the province. West Pomeranian furniture industry fair, addressed to entities producing and transporting wood-based boards.

Interzero was represented by Paweł Lesiak , Vice-President of the Management Board, who took part in the discussion panel “Ecological Logistics” of SILVA about the importance of ecological supplies of raw materials and methods of its implementation. SILVA companies collect and process wood waste for wood-based board plants used in the furniture industry. The issue of ecological supplies is also an important topic for our company, because as Interzero, we care not only about the raw material itself, but also about the logistic aspects of its acquisition. Properly planned and optimized transport systems can minimize negative impacts on the environment. The use of multimodal transport, which combines various means of transport (road, rail, sea), allows to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce road congestion.

We would like to thank SILVA for the invitation to participate in the discussion on sustainable transport of raw materials and Kronospan for the opportunity to participate in the inspiring event.

See you in a year!

Why is it so important to develop pro-ecological attitudes among the youngest?

Kubuś’s Friends of Nature is a nationwide educational program that was created on the initiative of the Maspex group for the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals related to the protection of the natural environment and climate through ecological education. It is addressed to pre-school children and students of early childhood education (grades 1-3 of primary school). For 15 years, thanks to practical classes, interactive lessons and field games, children all over Poland have been able to learn about the principles of environmental protection free of charge and in an interesting way, as well as learn respect for plants and animals, recycling, proper nutrition and spending time actively in harmony with nature .

Interzero, as a long-term partner of the action, supports the development of pro-environmental attitudes among the youngest. In the latest publication of Kubuś’s Friends of Nature on the practical application of ecological knowledge in the field, Monika Grom, Vice-President of the Management Board and Interzero expert , explains why it is so important to develop pro-ecological attitudes in early childhood.

“Nature awakens the child’s sensitivity to the destruction of the environment, stimulates curiosity and allows them to acquire competences to act for the benefit of the planet. Only thanks to conscious education and the development of a child’s impact on the environment, he will assume responsibility for the fate of the Earth, future generations and will be ready to take action in the field of ecology. That is why environmental education in the early years of life is so important. All actions in the field of environmental protection that parents and teachers at school will take together with children will have a significant impact on the condition of the planet in the years to come.”

Over 1,200,000 children from all over Poland took part in the 15th edition of the program (2022/2023).

Publication of the law transposing the SUP Directive

A week ago, May 9, 2023 an act implementing the provisions of the SUP (Single Use Plastics) directive was published, which means that the regulations will come into force soon.

The regulations focus mainly on imposing restrictions and requirements related to the marketing and use of single-use products made of plastics, and on the selective collection of waste resulting from these products, and introduce the following obligations:

• Marking some products with symbols, used e.g. on cups containing plastics.
• Imposing new types of fees for specific plastic products, such as an end-user fee per package, a fee for collection, cleaning and transport, and a fee for public education campaigns.
• For beverage cups and food containers, provide reusable or non-plastic alternative packaging from July 1, 2024.
• Use recycled plastic in bottles.
• Achieving minimum levels of waste collection of beverage packaging in the form of single-use plastic bottles with a capacity of up to 3 liters,
• Reporting all activities by the BDO system.

The full text of the act is available HERE

Interzero Polska is the official distributor of Sielaff bottling machines!

We are pleased to announce that Interzero Polska has become the official distributor of Sielaff devices.

Last week, we established cooperation with a reputable supplier of collection systems for disposable and reusable packaging in the food sector.

As a leader in the industry, we are fully prepared to provide services to entities affected by the deposit-refund system in Poland. Currently, we have already started testing the machines for accepting returns in commercial units.

Bottle machines have a significant impact on increasing the efficiency of the recycling process. By accepting and properly sorting empty bottles, we facilitate their further processing or enable their reuse.

This solution not only reduces the costs associated with the recovery and segregation of materials, but also speeds up the entire process.

We encourage you to start collecting packaging together with our support. Feel free to contact us!

Get on your bike! Join the Bicycle May action!

It’s the most beautiful month of the year! This is a good opportunity to spend time actively.

Cycling May is the largest initiative in Poland that encourages children, primary school students, teachers, parents and guardians to promote a healthy lifestyle and sustainable mobility.

Cycling Maj promotes the use of a bicycle as a means of transport to school and teaches good habits that remain with children after the end of the campaign. The action contributes to reducing the number of cars delivering children and motivates local governments to invest in bicycle infrastructure, which effectively changes the vicinity of schools and kindergartens to be safer and more friendly to cyclists.

As a partner of the campaign, we will donate 120 of our EkoPaks to the most active outlets. Thanks to this, we want to spread knowledge about raw materials and ecology among the youngest.

We cordially encourage all children and adults to join the campaign! Details HERE .

And next month, on June 18 , there will be a family picnic summarizing the campaign in Herbert Park in Bielany! See you!
