The Project for Household Waste Separation titled O-DVA-JA-MO aims to recycle the part of the waste generated in households, in order to reduce the quantities that end up in landfills, with a view to increasing the recycling rate across the four regions to 15% over the next two years. According to existing data, Serbia’s household waste recycling rate is less than 2%, while in the EU, 48% of municipal waste is recycled.

The attendees heard from the EU Ambassador to Serbia H.E. Emanuele Giaufret, Serbian Minister of Environmental Protection Irena Vujović, Swedish Ambassador H.E. Annika Ben David, and representatives of Sremska Mitrovica Mayor Svetlana Milovanović and JKP Komunalije’s spokesperson Tamara Milković.

O-DVA-JA-MO is implemented with the support of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the Republic of Serbia and the help of the European Union and the Embassy of Sweden. The project secures expertise and equipment to local authorities in order to design and improve the source separation system.
