Circular economy in Ukraine
Roman Puchko: "The concept of Circular Economy confidently gains popularity over last years. However, whereas in the EU countries or cities national/municipal programs are being developed and real actions taken, in Ukraine it’s all about ‘what to do with waste?’ so far."
On June 15 the latest special of the agricultural counsellors of the Netherlands was published about the developments of circular economy around the world. This time, the agricultural office in Ukraine asked Roman Puchko to share his opinion on this topic.
