MMC partners:
Urban Municipality of Novo mesto
The Urban Municipality of Novo mesto encompasses an area with a rich history and tradition. The Dolenjska area was inhabited by people two thousand years ago; the settlement at the Krka river bend has officially existed since 1365. Today, Novo mesto, as the only urban municipality in the region, is a regional urban centre in southeastern Slovenia with more than 140,000 residents.
Komunala Novo mesto
Komunala Novo mesto d.o.o. ensures the well-being of visitors, as well as our employees. We want to make a significant contribution to the protection of the environment; therefore, we will continue to raise awareness about the reuse of used beverage cartons among the users of our services, both young and elderly. We are committed to the sustainable care of the environment.
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 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.
Distribution company: EKO INICIATIVA
Eko iniciativa is a community of Slovenian companies and institutions dealing with sustainable hygiene for professional use. We participate in the KEMSO project through our member - the Kuncel d.o.o. distribution company, which ensures the uninterrupted distribution of hygienic tissue paper from its own material cycle to all participating public companies and institutions in Novo mesto.
