Budget: EUR 841.445,40
Number of partners: 2

Operation purpose and expected achievements:
The project will enable the creation of basic preconditions for the implementation of circular economy policies by investing in the necessary infrastructure and equipment for the management of construction waste, which has the largest percentage share in waste. Through project activities, the project also addresses some of the acute problems in the management of construction waste in local areas, such as illegal landfills, lack of adequate recycling equipment, and lack of communication among all stakeholders in the waste management process. Through pilot actions and solutions that are planned, the project presents the use of recycled construction waste as a sustainable material for filling the local roads. This project solution contributes to the principles of sustainable development and environmental preservation within the project area.
