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!
