Waste management

Waste management is a very important topic. It is an indisputable fact that more natural resources have been extracted in the last few decades than in the entire history of the Earth. Since the industrial revolution, we have embarked on the wave of progress, we have become enthusiastic about material comfort. But at the same time, we have polluted clean rivers, oceans, air in an incredible way and overwhelmed our surroundings with waste. Therefore, in times when we already live on ecological debt, it is important to think about what to do so that we can better use the resources offered to us by planet Earth. Waste production is a concomitant feature of human life and therefore cannot be avoided. However, the problem with waste begins long before we fill the bins with it. For example: did you know that each citizen of our village produces an average of 429 kilograms of waste per year, but with proper recycling, we could reuse up to 84 percent of this amount? Our sorting percentage is currently at 50.24%, which is a very good number compared to other municipalities. In our waste managers, you will learn a lot of necessary information, just click.
