HGK: Chamber does not deal with individual decisions or interests in waste management

The Croatian Chamber of Economy (HGK) has responded to inquiries regarding the "Digital Chamber" and its waste exchange platform, asserting that it does not engage in individual decision-making or pursue specific interests in waste management matters. The chamber's statement comes in response to a request from Most party MP Zvonimir Troskot.

Troskot had called for an investigation into whether the so-called "Digital Chamber," also known as the Waste Exchange, had served its legal purpose or if it facilitated a system where waste ended up in illegal landfills. He questioned the platform's operational integrity and its role in waste disposal.

In its clarification, the HGK emphasized that the development and implementation of the Waste Exchange were a legal obligation stemming from the government's Waste Management Plan. The chamber noted that this platform was subsequently incorporated into their broader Digital Chamber initiative. This suggests that the chamber views its role as fulfilling a government mandate rather than independently managing waste disposal operations or interests.
