New EU legislation will require all property owners in Sweden to establish waste collection points for various recyclables within ten months, creating challenges for older properties in urban areas.
In ten months, new EU legislation will come into effect in Sweden, mandating that all homeowners, housing cooperatives, and property owners set up collection points for plastics, paper, metals, newspapers, and glass within their premises.

As a result, property owners and housing cooperatives have been encouraged to create new environmental spaces, possibly incurring significant expenses.
