On 20 June 2022 the Ukrainian Parliament adopted a draft of the new Law of Ukraine ÒOn Waste Management.Ó The purpose of the Waste Management Law is to significantly improve the waste management system in Ukraine, which was poorly regulated and fragmented across municipalities. The new waste management system, among other things, tightens the licensing requirements for the collection and processing of hazardous waste, is expected to considerably improve the state of the environment in Ukraine and help achieve sustainable development goals. This includes tackling the amounts of waste already accumulated in Ukraine and overall making the waste management sector more attractive for investment. The adoption of the Waste Management Law is an opportunity to initiate the changes that Ukraine needs, among others, to fulfil the European Union membership requirements. This Open World program is aimed at showing our Ukrainian colleagues best practices and a discussion of that country's future development needs in this area.
