Deposit packaging system: business requires transparency before startup

In Moldova, the System of Deposit for Packaging (SDA) is not yet operational, but there is already a conflict between major market operators and state authorities. At issue is the choice of the administrator of the SDA system, a mechanism that should ensure the collection of used containers and increase their recycling rate. The idea itself is not disputed. What is disputed is how the future administrator was selected, how transparent the procedure was and why some of the major market players were left out.

The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Protection has submitted a report according to which the minimum will be 4,927 zloty (1,161 euros) from the beginning of 2027. This is significantly higher than the previously discussed amount. And it is important, as the “minimum wage” affects social benefits.
