Apstrakt

Ovaj rad se bavi uvođenjem Sistema povraćaja depozita kao novog sistema reciklaže u Grčkoj za PET ambalažu, a u skladu sa Evropskom direktivom 2019/904. Osnovna svrha ovog rada je predstavljanje analize troškova i prednosti, koja se bavila procenjivanjem sugestija i uticaja koje bi pomenuta direktiva imala u Grčkoj. Pored analize troškova i prednosti koje bi sistem imao, izvršeno je i poređenje između ovog modela i postojećeg modela reciklaže za PET ambalažu kako bi se otkrio njihov uticaj u Grčkoj. Pored toga, uspostavljen je i matematički model zasnovan na podacima o reciklaži PET ambalaže u Grčkoj. Ovaj model opisuje rad odgovarajućeg Sistema povraćaja depozita u Grčkoj, a mogao bi biti koristan za razumevanje, uspostavljanje i poboljšanje ovakvog sistema za druge otpadne proizvode.
