Let's clean up Slovenia in a day!

---

Two campaigns that are still considered the largest volunteer events in the history of our nation. We managed to connect 289.000 (or 14% of the population) of individuals, businesses, NGOs, Slovenian army, police, municipalities, and even President’s office, who later decorated us with the order of merit.

Joining great efforts from Estonia, we managed to convince activists from several countries to start similar initiatives for the World Cleanup 2012 campaign, most notably in the Balkans. More than 110 countries have since participated.

In 2018, we're doing it again as part of World Cleanup Day, together with 130+ countries on the same day, September 15th. Want to become part of the story? Write to us!

Zero Waste Slovenia

---

We are a national organization of the Zero Waste Europe network. We promote the concept, organize best practice visits and convince municipalities to adopt Zero waste plans. The list includes Ljubljana as the first such European capital. Our aim is to eventually adopt a Zero Waste strategy on the national level.

Slovenia without waste is not an illusion

In the past few years, Slovenians managed to recycle 55% of their municipal solid waste, some communities even up to 80%, which made Slovenia one of the best performing countries in the European Union. Some local communities in Europe recycle and compost over 90% of their waste - or very close to zero. Such incentives are becoming a part of EU development strategies, which set the goal of a totally recycling society, a circular economy and the efficient use of natural resources. With our help, first Slovenian municipalities decided to follow the path towards Zero Waste.

Waste reduction projects

---

Actions speak louder than words, so we have implemented several waste prevention campaigns. They range from accelerating textile reuse and recycling, food waste prevention across the whole chain (including hospitals), green tourism, humanitarian waste paper collection, throwaway bag use reduction, to promoting use of reusable cups and diapers.
