Professor Gyula Balázs and his team have presented themselves to the general public at Hungary’s largest environmental and communal exhibition. Between October 14 and 17 thousands of visitors had the opportunity to get to know firsthand the latest advances of the „Green world” and the trends of the ecological marketplace at Budapest Exhibition Centre. 178 exhibitors from 10 countries have considered it important to take part in person at this event.

A Budapest district has opted for a costlier, but more efficient method of garbage collection. The leaders of the 7th district in Hungary’s capital have decided to banish the recycling bins, which were both an eyesore and an offense to one’s nose, from public areas, and to move them into the condominiums, instead.

According to the innovator, this change is justified by international surveys, which show that recycling banks located on streets and squares reach less than 10% of the local population. The reason why this number is so low is that those people, who intend to collect their garbage selectively, often do not go looking for the containers on the street because of the discomfort this would entail.
