The development targets have been set specifically for the renovation of regional recycling points.

Some of the recycling points will be removed and for some, a functionally better location will be found to replace the current location.
Significant goals also include the development of sorting stations and a waste center, as well as expanding the sorting station network.

In addition, the opening hours of the sorting stations will take into account schedules that are more convenient for customers, and self-service transactions will also be enabled in some sorting stations, says the development manager.
