Biodegradable Waste Management in Prespa


Project description
The overall objective of this project is to support the establishment of an efficient system for biodegradable waste management in the Prespa region. This will help improve the lives of the local population and ensure better environmental protection.

 Objectives
To introduce new technologies for waste treatment and recycling. This will help reduce the massive quantities of waste which are currently discarded, and also, transform the biodegradable waste into products of intrinsic value, such as natural fertilizers or compost. Since compost is less expensive than artificial fertilizers, it will also enable farmers to make additional budget savings.

 Results
An Environmental Impact Assessment Study (EIA) was prepared,
concluding that the establishment of a biodegradable waste management
system would have enormous positive effects on the environment and would lead to significant improvement of the natural resources in the Prespa region.

The construction of a central composting plant and a number of biodegradable waste collecting stations has already begun. Once completed,the whole system will be introduced to the farmers and the
public communal enterprise.

Comprehensive and viable management solutions will be provided
for the treatment of biodegradable waste generated in the area of
Resen and the village of Jankovec. This will represent a solid platform for implementing a full-size management solution for biodegradable waste in the entire Prespa region. It will also serve as a model for possible replication in other regions throughout the country that are facing similar challenges.
