Orasje, 04.11.2015.g. and Gracanica  05.11.2015.g. - As a part of an educational project which Ekopak carried out in municipalities that have joined the Green Dot System for recovery and recycling of packaging waste, during the last week were played theater shows for children titled "Recycling is No Hassle". The performance was attended by about 700 children from Orasje and 1200 children from schools in the Municipality of Gracanica.

In the Municipality of Orasje Ekopak financed the purchase of 51 containers for separate collection of packaging waste which are placed in front of the schools, and in the Municipality of Gracanica Ekopak supports the second phase of the project, in which is financed the purchase of sets of bins for all educational institutions in the Municipality.

Also the important step is to educate children and explain them the importance of proper disposal of packaging waste in bins that are placed, and to promote the establishment of the Green Dot system for recovery and recycling of packaging waste in our country, which Ekopak builds on the basis of the best European experiences and practices from PRO EUROPE.

Together with the Forum of Citizens from Zenica, and with the support of the Federal Ministry of Environment and Tourism, Ekopak implements original project by using fun and interactive theater play of Bosnian National Theatre in Zenica, where children receive important messages about the needs for separate disposal of packaging waste, recycling and environmental protection. The children received educational magazines after the show.

The all enterprises that transferred its legal obligations for recycling of packaging waste to Ekopak, are enabling the establishment of the Green Dot System for recycling and recovery of packaging waste in our country.
