Athens region unveils €375 mln waste plan

Greece's Environment Ministry has approved a €375 million plan to improve waste management in Attica, aiming to increase recycling rates from 18% to meet EU targets of 60% by 2030 and 65% by 2035. The initiative includes 30 reuse centers, 25 recycling points, and expanded collection networks for organic and hazardous waste, with greater involvement from the regional authority EDSNA. Funding will come from EU and national resources, landfill taxes, and recycling systems, though some municipalities resist centralized control over landfill revenue. The EU is pushing Greece to align with stricter waste management standards, but challenges remain, including delays in approving new recycling and composting facilities.
