The meeting with CETAP representatives, Edward Scott Crossett and Scott Crossett, was hosted by Ekopak Director Amela Hrbat. During the meeting, they discussed the challenges of establishing a sustainable waste management system, as well as the initiatives and projects implemented by Ekopak in the field of packaging waste management, with particular emphasis on Ekopak’s contribution to the development of the recycling system in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Opportunities for cooperation between CETAP and Ekopak were also discussed.

CETAP (Circular Economy Technical Assistance Project for Improving the Recovery of Materials from Waste through Separate Collection, Reuse and Recycling) is a European Union project supporting Bosnia and Herzegovina’s transition towards sustainable waste management. The project promotes the development of new markets for waste as a resource, enhances recycling capacities and municipal services, and supports the drafting of legislation aligned with the EU Waste Package. It also provides support to competent institutions in establishing sustainable systems for the collection and treatment of specific waste streams, in line with circular economy principles.
