FROM OLD TO NEW – PAPER RECYCLING

The project idea contributes to reducing the use of plastic and non-degradable packaging by making new products from empty cigarette packs and other waste paper and cardboard. It will contribute to the preservation of raw materials, save energy, and reduce the generation of waste through repeated use and recycling. Implementing the project idea, employment conditions will be created for people with developmental disabilities. Engaging them in the manual production of paper and cardboard products (using Japanese technology) can give them an opportunity to develop a higher degree of personal independence.

The solution introduces the development of bio-additives that will make the paper waterproof, recyclable, and biodegradable and the purchase of equipment for the manual and semi- automatic production of paper products from paper waste, including paper food delivery containers.

By organizing campaigns that would help raise the level of paper and cardboard collection, then developing a training program for working in the production of paper products with the establishment of cooperation with other organizations, it is expected that the adopted approach will be upscaled to local communities across Serbia and contribute to the inclusion of a larger number of people with developmental disabilities. The support provided amounts to 27,000 US $.
