The project focuses on overcoming barriers to meeting EU recycling targets and achieving full implementation of the Waste Management and Waste Prevention Programme of the Republic of Slovenia.
The project introduces an integrated set of complementary technical, digital, environmental, social and circular solutions to unlock the full potential of the programme, maximise material self-sufficiency and achieve increased circular returns in the waste and resource sector.

The project aims to:

  • Provide a permanent mechanism to evaluate and update the waste management and prevention programme based on digital, technical and social excellence

  • Present 6 circular solutions for several problematic and large-scale waste streams as best examples for the implementation of the objectives

  • Ensure wider acceptance of the best available solutions and achieve coherent and integrated implementation of the waste targets

Project objectives:

  • Reduction of CO2 emissions by 20% due to improved management

  • Increase recycling by about 18% (2% per year)

  • 50% of non-hazardous construction waste recycled

  • Recycling 99% of non-hazardous waste from thermal processes

  • Achieve 70% recycling rate of municipal waste

  • Reduced consumption of non-metallic mineral raw materials by 20% (3.4 million tonnes)

  • Improvement of 10% of the soil surface

  • 15% increase in green jobs
