Reloop’s primary objective in South, Central, and Eastern Europe is to accelerate the implementation of a circular economy for packaging.
While some guidelines and policy instruments from the European Commission are well-established – with more currently being developed – the necessary expertise for achieving sustainable resource management is not easily accessible by the countries across this region.
To address this, Reloop has developed knowledge-building platforms that engage industry, public administrators, and civic society and raise awareness about well-proven and value-creating waste management systems.
Our key areas of focus include:
- efficient collection methods
- sustainable financing practices, and
- stimulating demand for post-consumer waste
Consequently, three of Reloop’s programmes – Money Back, Closing the Loop and Collect More Sort More – are the current focal points in this region.
