The circular economy is increasingly taking center stage in discussions about resource conservation, environmental protection, and enhancing the quality of life for both current and future generations. Rather than following a linear model of consumption and disposal, circular approaches provide solutions that extend the lifespan of products, minimize waste, and maximize resource utilization – which is vital for a sustainable future.
That’s why, in this issue, we bring you inspiring stories and analyses that highlight how the circular economy can shape a better world. We spoke with the Ambassador of Canada to Serbia, Michelle Cameron, who revealed how this country is facing climate challenges and what valuable lessons we can apply to our environment. Additionally, we discussed with the Head of the Center for
Circular Economy at the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Serbia how this model can boost the domestic economy and align it with European standards. Furthermore, we investigated how Užice successfully reduced the concentration of PM particles in the air, how Montenegro integrates circular economy principles into its legislation and the potential for its development in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
You will learn from renowned experts how waste in Serbia can be used to generate electricity and how wastewater treatment and hydrogen production can go hand in hand. We also bring you a new section, Eco-Innovations, which presents the most interesting ecological innovations that change how we approach waste, paving the way for a more sustainable future.
In the much-loved People and Challenges section, we will introduce inspiring stories of individuals who have turned waste into something admirable. These stories will remind us that creativity and dedication can bring about great change.
We believe that this issue will provide you with valuable insights and inspiration to contribute to the transition to a more sustainable way of life.
