ccording to Georgia’s National Waste Management Strategy, measures to be taken from 2016-2030 will cost approximately EUR 130 million (USD 13 million), paid for by donors and the European Union. According to the strategy, 900,000 tons of municipal waste is generated every year in Georgia, which amounts to 200 kg waste per person in an average year. Though the average EU citizen produces 475 kg of waste per year, Europeans recycle 44 per cent of their waste product. Georgia currently only has four landfills in the country that meet international standards. Of the 60 total landfills in the country, 13 have been closed and 28 were renewed and put back into service. Continued on page 2
