ECOPACK

ECOPACK (Екопак) is a Bulgarian recycling organization that describes itself as the largest packaging waste recovery organization in Bulgaria. It organizes separate collection of packaging waste — paper and cardboard, glass, plastic and metal — through a nationwide network of colored containers and collection vehicles, and it runs public awareness and incentive campaigns to encourage households, schools and businesses to recycle. The organization's public-facing activity centers on the familiar three-stream system: blue containers for paper and cardboard packaging, green containers for glass packaging waste, and yellow containers for plastic packaging waste. According to figures published on its own website, ECOPACK serves a population of about 2.451 million residents across 87 municipalities, holds a market share of roughly 42.33%, and operates 17,217 containers, 45 trucks and 17 sorting installations. These figures are presented by the organization itself as a snapshot of its national reach. Beyond collection logistics, ECOPACK positions itself as a driver of recycling culture in Bulgaria. Its website promotes initiatives such as "ЕКОзвезди" (ECO Stars), a separate-collection initiative for plastic bottles and aluminum cans; a "Green Alley of Fame" (Зелена алея на славата) eco-rating platform for venues that collect waste separately; school separate-collection competitions; and local campaigns such as "REЦИКЛИРАЙ В ТРОЯН" (Recycle in Troyan), which invites participants to collect points in an app toward planting a new forest in Troyan. It also highlights free pickup of plastic bottles and aluminum cans left after consumption, which it transports and recycles at no charge. ECOPACK's messaging emphasizes environmental outcomes, presenting counters for trees saved, kilowatt-hours of electricity saved, liters of drinking water saved and barrels of oil saved. It also publicizes school and community collection results, such as children in Plovdiv, Haskovo, Vratsa, Dupnitsa and Varshets collecting over 12 tonnes of waste for recycling, and similar results in Ruse, Dobrich and Burgas. As a brand, ECOPACK is best understood as a Bulgarian packaging-waste compliance and recycling services organization — the kind of entity that fulfills producer-responsibility obligations for packaging placed on the market while running consumer-facing collection and education programs. Its identity is tied to the Bulgarian market and to the practical infrastructure of separate waste collection rather than to a single consumer product.
