In the Embassy of Japan, a contract on donation of 93,457 Euros (cca. 182.786 BAM) for the "Waste Collecting Vehicles Purchase in the Kladanj Municipality was signed by His Excellency Hideo Yamazaki, the Ambassador of Japan in BiH and Mr. Jusuf Čavkunović, the mayor of the Kladanj Municipality. 

The ceremony was attended by Mr. Josip Dolušić, advisory at the Federal Ministry of Environment and Tourism and Amela Hrbat, managing director at Ekopak.

Since the above mentioned funding does not fully cover the vehicles purchase, Ekopak will partially be involved in the co-funding, while the second part of the Ekopak's investment will be purchase of the necessary infrastructure in order to establish a system of separate collection and recycling of packaging waste in the Kladanj Municipality.
