Dec 04, 2006. /Lesprom Network/. Despite a marked increased in the collection and recycling of secondary raw materials, the major part of recoverable resources still ends up at the junkyard, the Verslo Zinios business daily reported. The study into the feasibility of recycling of recoverable resources in 2006-2010, which has been commissioned by the ministry of economy, has shown that some 90% of waste is dumped without using its resources of raw materials and energy, although the recycling capacities are growing. Moreover, the recyclers of paper, cardboard and plastic deliver a part of recoverable resources from abroad. Dumping still remains the most economically attractive way of waste management, which could not encourage the recycling and utilization of waste. Meanwhile, the businessmen engaged in waste recycling complain of hardships encountered in Lithuania while making attempts to expand business. "Last year we offered to collect polyethylene from a dump site at our own expenses, however, no one was concerned. Some officials said that the issue was not in their remit, while others refused to do anything," said Vytas Poderis, director for development and communications at secondary raw plastic recycler Plasta. Contrary to Lithuania, foreign states often subsidized the recycling of recoverable resources, businessmen noted.
