February 28, 2025
The workshop “From Waste to Value – How to Proceed?” held on 20th February, gathered experts, municipal leaders, and industry representatives to address key challenges in waste management in the Nitra region. Participants identified issues such as inefficient collection systems, high levels of biodegradable waste in mixed containers, and weaknesses in current fee structures and data verification.
Bioeconomy Cluster presented its blueprint “Towards a Bio-Based Economy in the Nitra Region – From Waste to Value Approach”, highlighting strategies to turn waste into a valuable resource. Discussions emphasized the need for improved public infrastructure, education campaigns, and incentive programs, drawing inspiration from successful initiatives abroad.
A proposal was made to establish a working group to drive collaboration and develop concrete action plans. The event served as a crucial platform for shaping a more sustainable and circular waste management system, reaffirming the importance of innovation, cooperation, and continuous dialogue.
Towards a bio-based economy in Nitra Region in Slovakia
Bioeconomy Cluster has developed a blueprint for transforming waste management in the Nitra region into a circular bioeconomy. The strategy focuses on improved waste separation, composting, and bioenergy production to drive economic growth, environmental sustainability, and community engagement.
Key elements include leveraging the region’s agricultural and industrial strengths, promoting collaboration between municipalities, businesses, and research institutions, and using innovative technologies like anaerobic digestion and advanced data management tools. The plan aligns with national and EU sustainability goals and emphasizes community education to ensure successful implementation.
Designed to be a replicable model, the blueprint aims to create a resilient bio-based economy that benefits both the environment and local communities.
