The proposed Amendment would reduce the effectiveness of the Slovak EPR system for packaging,
risking to jeopardize the achievement of packaging recycling targets.
EucoLight and over 40 organisations urge members of the National Council to reject the government’s
proposal to amend the Environmental Fund Act, and to ensure Slovakia’s EPR system remains aligned
with the general minimum requirements of the Waste Framework Directive and supportive of the
recyclability at scale objectives of the PPWR.
