Municipality of Brežice
The Municipality of Brežice willingly participates in projects that help reduce environmental pollution. At the end of 2018, we joined the project; moreover, we also encouraged our public institutions (with which we use 33 tons of hygienic tissue paper per year) to participate. We will now obtain hygienic tissue paper from milk and juice carton recycling. A circular culture can certainly be said to be in our hands now.
Komunala Brežice d.o.o.
We started the Circular Culture in Our Hands project in 2019, i.e. one and a half years ago. I am pleased to say that many companies and institutions in the Municipality of Brežice have joined the project so far. I would like to invite other companies and institutions which do not yet participate in the project, to join the campaign, so that we can collectively support nature.

DROE: DINOS d.d.
The company is committed to finding new solutions and improvements, in order to reduce environmental pollution, increase recycling and recovery rate, and consequently significantly reduce the amount of waste disposal. With this policy, we have a major impact on product life cycle - we extend it, while maintaining natural resources. The circular economy is based on the concept of a rotating material cycle, which means that waste materials are processed for their reuse, and consequently, the amounts of disposed of or incinerated waste are reduced.
DROE: SLOPAK d.o.o.
Slopak is a responsible packaging waste management company that ensures that the life cycle of products is closed, which is why we are one of the key stakeholders in the circular economy. We provide a system for collecting, recovering and recycling packaging and non-packaging products, which enables the reuse of secondary raw materials for the production of new products and reduces the impact on the environment. With our knowledge and professionalism, we are building a more sustainable society, and above all, we are looking to the present and the future. Therefore, our mission is also to raise public awareness of the importance of proper waste separation and to encourage environmental protection.
Distribution company: Valtex & Co. d.o.o.
We are on the verge of major economic transition. The global economic system is changing from linear to circular. The simplest way for companies and institutions to enter the circular economy is to start using hygienic tissue paper from their own material cycle. VALTEX is a pioneer in the practical implementation of the circular economy in Slovenia, and willingly cooperates, and provides advice and assistance in this respect.

»Javno podjetje Komunala Brežice d. o. o. se zaveda nujnosti ohranjanja narave, na katero človek v hitrem tempu življenja, prepogosto pozabi. Skozi celo leto se trudimo z raznimi aktivnostmi izboljšati ozaveščenost prebivalcev o pomenu ohranjanja narave, okolja in naravnih virov ter ekologije.
S tem namenom smo oblikovali ekološki projekt »Zeleno Posavje – za naravo in zdravje«, s katerim želimo izboljšati ozaveščenost prebivalcev regije Posavje, o pomenu ohranjanja narave, okolja in ekologije, in sicer o ponovni uporabi stvari, krožnemu gospodarstvu, pomenu pitja vode iz pipe, zmanjšanja zavržene hrane in ločenega zbiranja odpadkov (jedilno olje, kavna usedlina). Poleg tega želimo zmanjšati količino odloženih odpadkov na viru, predvsem biološkega odpada, kosovnega odpada in plastične embalaže.« |

| OŠ Brežice 🛈
Osnovna šola Brežice se je z veseljem priključila temu projektu. Najprej smo povabili učence, da so začeli zbirati tetrapak. Pokazali smo jim tudi, kaj se iz tega da narediti oz. reciklirati. Nato je sledilo krajše tekmovanje. Na koncu se je šola odločila, da bo tudi nabavljala ta recikliran papir. Otrokom smo ga na urah pouka predstavili, povedali, kako poteka krožno gospodarstvo oz. kako iz tetrapaka nastane papir. Sedaj ga že kar dobro leto dni uporabljamo.
