Recycle - Invest!
Educationally informative campaign and activities carried out as part of the “Recycle - Invest in the Future, Environment and Health” Campaign or shorter “Recycle - Invest” aims to inform, educate, motivate and offer advice and facilitate the implementation of changes in citizens' waste management habits.
The goal of the campaign is to properly dispose of waste and collect as much waste as possible in the recycling yard, the green islands and at the doorstep in appropriate containers. As one of the important goals of the project is to increase the amount of waste collected in the recycling yard each year. Quantities of different waste collected, will be recordeds and statistics will be reported periodically. An important contribution is made by all residents of the project area. Significant increases in the weight of landfilled waste are expected after the first year of implementation, as well as the perception of a cleaner environment and neater streets, as well as a reduction of waste quantites collected and disposed on landfill.
By educating and informing citizens, we want to achieve a greater level of awareness and proper segregation of waste and reduce irresponsible disposal of waste into the environment.
As part of the project, expert panels will be held on sustainable waste management for children and young people, workshops on environmental cleanup and the celebration of Earth Day.
Goals:
- A cleaner and healthier environment
- No waste in the streets, in streams and in nature
- No odors on the green islands, for neat and clean streets.
Ideje za reduciranje otpada
- Kupujte manje i samo ono što zaista trebate.
- Pri odlasku u trgovinu ili na tržnicu sa sobom nosite platnenu vrećicu, torbu ili klasičnu košaru koja je idealna za kupnju voća i povrća.
- Cirkulirajte predmete - poklonite, donirajte.
- Popravite odjeću i obuću koja se može popraviti.
- Kućanske uređaje kupujte od proizvođača koji imaju dužu garanciju, osiguran servis i koji zbrinjavaju elektronički otpad.
- Staklenke i plastične posude sa poklopcem prenamijenite u spremnike za čuvanje hrane ili za nošenje hrane na posao.
- Recite ne plastičnim vrećicama u uvijek sa sobom nosite platnenu vrećicu.
- Umjesto papirnatih ručnika koristite klasične pamučne kuhinjske krpa koje su višenamjenske.
- Umjesto papirnatih, izbjeljenih filtera za kavu i čaj koristite one od recikliranog papira ili klasična metalna cjedila.
- Umjesto baterija koje sadrže živu i kadmij, kupujte litijske punjive baterije, koje možete višestruku koristiti i jednostavno puniti na struju.
Upcycling
Upcycling – označava niz postupaka često i kreativne prirode putem kojih nekom predmetu dajemo novu uporabnu vrijednost i produžujemo životni vijek. Primjeri upcyclinga su prenamjena i prekrajanje komada odjeće u nove predmete, platnene torbe ili u drugačije modele.
Jednostavan primjer je bojanje predmeta koji ima mrlju u tamnu boju (obično crnu ili tamno plavu) kako bi traperice bile i dalje nosive ili prekrajanje u torbu.
