A quick glance at our shopping trolleys reveals that a significant part of their contents will end up in packaging or other waste. When we buy new clothes and shoes, we have to make room for them<\/strong> in our wardrobes, so we tend to throw old pieces away<\/strong>. Discarded electrical and electronic equipment is also a growing part of our waste, and we can no longer imagine life without it.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”153750″]The good news is that municipal waste is decreasing. Slovenia generated 7.7 million tonnes of all types of waste in 2020, a decrease of almost 9% compared to the previous year. On average, the average person in Slovenia produced 489 kg of municipal waste in 2020, 21 kg less than in 2019.

Television sets often contain lead, which is harmful to health. Contact with lead-containing waste can endanger the kidneys, nervous system and reproductive organs of humans and, in the case of young children, mental development.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”657829″]Electrical appliances such as fridges and freezers can contain gases that are harmful to the environment. Discarded batteries are also potentially harmful to the environment, as they can contain hazardous substances such as mercury and cadmium. Improperly disposed hazardous waste poses a risk to human health and the environment. Dangerous or toxic substances can contaminate groundwater or accumulate in organisms we eat.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”109783″]By recycling and separating waste properly, each of us can contribute to reducing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and thus to the fight against climate change.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”2″ top_padding=”3″ bottom_padding=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”786478″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”654767″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”122893″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”787538″]Natural resource stocks are limited and visibly depleting. One way to conserve natural resources is to recycle used products so that new raw materials can be recovered.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”187399″]Global consumption of raw materials is currently around 70 billion tonnes a year, double the level of 30 years ago. Experts estimate that if the demand for raw materials will continue to grow at the same rate, it will be twice as high as today’s by 2030. The European Commission warns that we can no longer afford such wasteful use of resources. Over-exploitation of natural resources causes irreparable damage to the environment.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”166545″]By reusing the raw materials we already use, we relieve the burden on the environment and preserve the climate. Recycling has the added benefit of creating new jobs, with the European Environment Bureau calculating that recovering 70% of waste could create more than 800 000 jobs in Europe by 2030.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image media=”4827″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”509725″][vc_single_image media=”5476″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”204078″][vc_single_image media=”5477″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”156291″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″ uncode_shortcode_id=”157364″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”309528″]<\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][vc_button border_width=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”260196″ el_class=”iz-center-btn”]Contact us[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row front_end_with_slider=”true”][vc_column width=”1\/1″][uncode_slider][vc_row_inner limit_content=”yes” front_end_with_slider=”true”][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=”446127″]Awareness-raising moments at the DM Run for Women[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_single_image media=”4840″ media_width_percent=”72″ uncode_shortcode_id=”112027″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_empty_space empty_h=”2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”110877″]Interzero (then called Interseroh) participated in the DM Women’s Run, where our team raised awareness among participants and visitors about the importance of proper packaging waste disposal.

\nDespite an 11% decrease compared to 2019, construction waste still accounted for 59% of the total waste generated with 4.5 million tonnes. This was followed by municipal waste at 13% and thermal process waste at 12%. However, the amount of waste requiring special collection and disposal treatment for infection prevention is expected to increase by 37% in 2020.
