"There was talk of a separate collection. As a recycler, I can say that separate collection is necessary because they are recycled separately. It's that simple, mixed things are not good. I would say that in Romania if we look at the figures in reverse, we have some figures high. The non-recyclability rate in Romania is today at 89% - this means that we have the highest mortality rate of resources in Europe. This is how I see them as a recycler, this is how my colleagues in the industry see them. We have a mortality rate of resources, valuable resources, many of them being even from the area of ​​critical raw materials, which even come from conflict zones today. We casually throw them away, because there is minimal resistance in what storage means," said Constantin Damov.

He emphasized that "new things have appeared on the market", referring to the categories of products that Romanians throw away but do not recycle. These products require resolution much faster than in the case of blankets and glass.

"New things have appeared on the market, things for which we have to find a solution much faster than blankets and glass. We recycle electronics - and here's what you can find in the household waste today - and which this year caused hundreds of fires through self-ignition - and I wouldn't be surprised if in the forests of Greece, they were also spawned little gadgets. This is a toothbrush, I opened it, and it came with a charged battery. It's a lithium-ion battery that it can explode at the slightest step or if we have a very humid atmosphere around. It's these Bluetooth headphones that have a small lithium-ion battery inside. All these are little lighters - and everyone wonders who put a fire on the landfill, in a warehouse, or in a forest," explained Damov.
