Environment minister: Serbia will recycle waste generated

 
Belgrade/Nis, June, 03, 2010 (Serbia Today) – Environment Minister Oliver Dulic said on Monday that Serbia in the next few years will be recycling almost its entire waste on its own territory. "We are entering the packaging waste management model that will lead to that in the near future, every city will have separate containers for separation of waste. Our citizens will be able, while generating anything as household packaging waste, to inject into separate containers, which will be separating in recycling yards on the specific raw materials and than directing to the recycling industry", explained Dulic. Minister said that the aim in the next few years is for Serbia to employ 10,000 people in recycling industry. "Our goal is to open up new jobs, as well as an entirely new industry that almost doesn’t exist today in Serbia", he said. Minister of the Environment has opened the first International Fair of ecology, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources at Hall Cair in Nis.
