Slovakia Lacks Infrastructure for Energy Recovery from Waste, Official Warns

Slovakia faces a shortage of infrastructure for energy recovery from waste, according to P. Krasnec, creating potential problems for the country's waste management system. The deficiency could cause complications particularly with the introduction of mechanical-biological waste treatment, which is scheduled to begin in 2027. The mechanical-biological treatment system is designed to process mixed municipal waste by separating recyclable materials and treating organic components, but without adequate energy recovery facilities, Slovakia may struggle to effectively implement this EU-mandated waste management approach.
