Ordinance Amending Ordinance on Package and Packaging Waste Management (Official Gazette FBiH 28, April 10, 2013) defines requirements of recycling or reusing of the packaging waste containing or being contaminated with hazardous substance. By signing the contract, Holdina was one of the first companies to join the packaging waste of this type management system, thus fulfilling their obligations by law and showing social responsibility.
Holdina is just the first obligated company to join the packaging waste containing or being contaminated with the hazardous substance management system and, by having other legal entities that operate within this or similar business join the system, the expectations are to significantly improve packaging waste containing or being contaminated with the hazardous substance management in order not to have such waste end up on landfills but be reused and recycled.
