A large number of citizens of all generations, from the youngest to the oldest, participated in the collection of plastic and glass bottles, which will be sent for recycling. It is particularly encouraging that primary and secondary school students from Zenica also joined the campaign in an organized manner, making a significant contribution to the successful implementation of the event.

Participants received a flower seedling for every five or more plastic or glass bottles they brought, while substantial quantities of packaging waste were collected and will be directed to recycling through the Ekopak system.

Nadira Dacić, Project Assistant at Ekopak, emphasized that Ekopak traditionally marks important environmental dates, with World Environment Day holding a special place among them.

"We are extremely pleased with the strong response from citizens, as well as from students who demonstrated their understanding of the importance of proper packaging waste disposal and recycling. Activities like these aim to bring the recycling system closer to citizens and show how each of us can contribute through simple everyday habits," said Dacić.

In addition to collecting packaging waste, citizens had the opportunity to speak with Ekopak representatives and learn more about proper waste separation and the recycling process.

Ekopak and Pet Servis would like to thank all citizens, students, and partners who supported the campaign and once again demonstrated that, through joint action, we can increase the amount of packaging waste that is recycled rather than ending up in landfills.
