Over the past 20 years, Slovakia has made significant progress in the sorting and recycling of municipal waste – also in comparison with other European countries. In the past, we regularly ranked at the very “tail” of Europe in Eurostat rankings and lagged behind countries such as Hungary and Bulgaria, while the results of more developed countries seemed unattainable for us. Today, the situation is different – Slovakia has already risen above the European average and currently ranks among the TOP 10 EU countries (9th place). We believe this result can improve even further.

Slovakia has been making steady progress in waste sorting over the long term. Over the 20 years since NATUR-PACK was established, the municipal waste recycling rate has increased from just a few symbolic percentage points to more than 50%. A major turning point came after 2016 – since then, separate collection has been fully financed by producer responsibility organizations.
