With Re:waste, the next stop of our tour was in Shëngjin, at “Willson” Promenade.
With the citizens and tourists who stopped by we talked about the need that our city has to go one step further with how we manage our waste, especially in the coastal area of Shëngjin, which is massively frequented by tourists.
Even though the infrastructure has been enabled in a part of the promenade, the operation of the differentiation of waste and the possibility of recycling it is stuck in the other implementation links the moment that this waste is collected together with all other non differentiated waste.
For this system to be functional at least in a significant percentage, it is important that each actor implements the task they undertake, starting from the individuals/citizens who have the task of separating waste according to different categories, continuing to the collectors who have the task to provide the appropriate means to collect this waste according to divisions and then to the governing bodies that have the duty to strictly control this system so that it is well-functional and being implemented correctly.
Re:waste presents Sweden’s model of putting in motion all the steps of a circular economy and lays out very well the ways in which our country can also follow this path.
