,, Every day business people in BiH are facing problems of missing information, or inability to get information from authorized institutions. Ekopak gave its contribution to workshops in SDG indicator’s segment regarding package material, that is being placed on market, and amount of recycled package material in BiH,’’ said the director of Ekopak Amela Hrbat.

The workshop has been organized by Agency for statistics in Bosnia and Herzegovina, and UN environment – United Nations Program, and participation took professionals from state Agency, entities’ institutions for statistics, Ministries of foreign affairs and economics, Environment protection fund in BiH, ZEOS and Ekopak system operators.

Let’s remind ourselves that Bosnia and Herzegovina is, by choice of the United Nations, one of few countries in the world whose methodology and indicators for four sustainable development goals concerning dangerous waste, communal waste, and recycling and food waste will be defined and tested. For this reason, a project  ,,Chemicals and waste under sponsorship of UN Sustainable Development Program  2030: Building capacity for sustainable development goals and review in transitional countries,’’ has started last year. The project will last until June 2019, and will be implemented by the Agency for statistics in BIH, as a carrier of the Project in BiH and UN Environment and UN-Habitat, in corporation with relevant Bosnian institutions and organizations.

Expected results of this project are that our country will create national report regarding chemicals and waste statistics. This report will serve for implementing support for sustainable development goals, define and test statistic’s methodologies of indicators for following its realization.
