Ekopak will finance purchase of waste bins for seven eco-islands, co-finance the construction and equipping of surfaces for eco-island as well as conduct educational and promotional activities in order to rise awareness on proper packaging waste disposal and recycling. Eco-islands will have a special light source powered by solar energy, which is the first such example in Bosnia and Herzegovina. 

Statement by Mayor of Vogošća, Edin Smajić: Vogošća municipality recognized the importance of waste management and found Ekopak  - the best possible partner for this project. It is certainly an honor that we are the first municipality in the Sarajevo Canton that establishes this type of eco-islands. That also means we need to find some solutions on our own. We met with Ekopak even earlier and cooperated on the project "Clean Vogošća". As for the current project, this is just the first phase. After setting the bins for separate disposal of glass, paper and plastic, we will properly prepare the places where this bins will be placed. These places will be fully in compliance with environmental norms and standards and will carry a symbolic message as it will be illuminated by renewable solar energy. We are pleased that the Ekopak saw a serious partner for this project in us, for the first time in the Sarajevo Canton. This project is significant for environmental protection in the local community and environmental awareness among our citizens. After implementation of this project we have a plan to establish a recycling yard at the our industrial zone, so all the collected waste could be properly operated and it will also be the station where all those who obtain additional income could hand over their collected quantities.
