This summer alone we have heard very often in the news that yet another recycling factory has burnt to the ground. A few instances (not all of them):
The successive fires July 11 and 14 in Thessaloniki Greece 2025
Ritsona: Recycling factory burns down 14.07.2025 -
Fire in progress at a recycling factory in Alexandroupoli – Alarm for toxic smoke 22.07.2025
Fires at the recycling factory in the Chiteria area, near Moria, Lesvos, which was engulfed in flames for an unknown reason at 2.15 in the morning today, July 22.
21/7 a recycling factory on NATO Avenue, in Aspropyrgos.
29/7 a recycling factory in the Temeni Aigio area in Achaia
Maybe the answer lies in the following EU Commission site open to everyone :
<<Infringement decisions Jul 17, 2025 Brussels 50 min readJuly infringements package: key decisions>>
I, as a simple citizen in this country have not once heard in the TV news that a serious investigation has been ordered to reveal the causes of these fires as non coincidental, no fines imposed for seriously contaminating the environment . TV channels are only reporting these fires and not commenting on them at all!
More transparency is needed and certainly more investigation by the country's Authorities and not a mere reporting which truly offends our common sense.
