| The importance of having a
responsible attitude towards the environment can no
longer be under estimated. At Kostak we believe a
responsible and caring approach starts with the
individual and therefore we put great emphasis on
raising awareness of how to preserve the environment.
With this in mind, in the Municipality of Krško
we organise a comprehensive system of waste
processing , from collection through to disposal and
recycling. Since 2002 we have managed a system to
separate out waste paper, glass, plastics and
organic waste and to materials that can be recycled,
saving on primary material and energy and
contributing to a cleaner environment. We now
operate 120 units in the Krsko area, known as `ecological
islands’, from where we organise the collection of
separated waste. More than 30% of all waste in the
region is separated and collected in this way. Once
processed at the Kostak Waste Collection Centre in
Stari Grad the separated waste is transferred to the
final user of those raw materials. Organic waste is
transformed into compost which is a natural manure.
Other waste is transported to a regional waste
collection centre, CEROD in Novo mesto.
At Kostak, we not only instigate effective and
modern waste management, but we also take care of
further generations so that they will be able to
live in a healthy and clean environment.
