The Hungarian government has initiated a review of the 35-year waste management concession held by MOHU, a company currently maintaining a monopoly in the waste processing industry. Minister László Gajdos stated the government intends to be a ‘tough partner’ to protect national interests and service quality. This review follows reports of significant financial losses by MOHU, which totaled approximately 200 billion forints due to rising material costs and increased recycling efforts.

Amidst this regulatory scrutiny, MOHU has launched a Residential Portal to allow households to manage waste management bills and electronic invoicing online. The digital rollout occurs as officials, including Péter Magyar, have criticized the current system for failing to meet contractual obligations or targets. MOHU has expressed agreement with the necessity of a system review to ensure concession objectives are met.
